[Exercise] Jumping is fun! Rhythm Jump Rope Collection (1–10)
Racing into the NightYOASOBI
Some of you might be struggling to get a child who isn’t very enthusiastic to warm up to rhythm jump rope.
In times like that, YOASOBI’s “Yoru ni Kakeru” is a perfect fit.
It’s a hugely popular song across all ages, so it should get them excited and engaged.
The tempo is quite fast, but if you include plenty of basic skills, it should still work well for lower-grade elementary school students’ rhythm jump rope.
It’s also ideal when you want to make otherwise monotonous practice feel lively and fun.
Dinner Songtuki.
tuki.’s “Bansanka” is cool and stylish, with a powerful chorus, and it’s a great pick for enjoying rhythm jump rope! The section that goes from open–close (goo–paa) into a cross becomes especially captivating when you jump while moving your rope rhythmically.
If you’re considering switching places front-to-back, let’s make those swaps during the instrumental/bridge section.
Scissor jumps, pedals, and stomps are moves where footwork is crucial.
Adjust your skills so they flow into the next move, have fun, and nail your rhythm jump rope routine!
lilacMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Lilac” is a perfect fit for rhythm jump rope.
During the chorus, when doing two-beat jumps, it’s easy to look down and lose your posture, so try to keep your gaze forward and jump while feeling the rhythm.
The challenge section is the main highlight of rhythm jump rope! Incorporate double unders, focus on spinning the rope quickly and jumping high, and give it your best.
If you’re up for it, adding moves like backward double unders or the Hayabusa is also recommended.
Become the windAyano Tsuji
Ayano Tsuji’s “Kaze ni Naru” features gentle ukulele tones and a soft, refreshing vocal that really enhances the charm of rhythm jump rope.
In the chorus, try incorporating two-beat jumps and running steps—moves that make it easy to match the rhythm.
In the latter half, the criss-cross gets a bit faster.
The key is to keep your arms from spreading too wide, minimize your movements, and cross while you jump.
Adjust how you swing the rope so you can land your tricks smoothly in time with the music—good luck!
Acorn Korokoro Jump
Doing two things at once is also something you acquire through experience and practice.
Let’s build the ability to jump while singing with the “Donguri Korokoro Jump.” First, use a rope or jump rope to make a circle about 30 cm in diameter.
Start by standing inside the circle, then jump forward → jump back into the original circle → jump to the right → jump back into the original circle, and keep repeating these jumps as you move around the circle.
Do this in time with the song “Donguri Korokoro.” It may take time to get used to it—you might stop singing because you’re focused on the jumps, or sing too energetically and miss the jump direction.
If the rhythm fits, of course you can use other songs as well.
Make you happyNiziU
With “Make you happy,” NiziU quickly became a sensation in Japan.
The chorus’s “jump-rope dance” was performed by people of all ages on karaoke, TikTok, and other social media! Of course, you can jump this song with rhythm jump rope, too! The tempo is slow, and the timing for switching jump styles is steady and easy to follow, so it’s great for beginners.
The foot cross in the chorus is a bit tricky, but give it a try!
My friend — now and forever…Ketsumeishi
Instead of just jumping rope to the rhythm, if you want to showcase it as a performance, this is the song! “Tomo yo ~ Kono Saki mo Zutto…” is a moving ballad by Ketsumeishi that sings about the importance of friendship, featuring lyrics that really hit home.
You can match the mood by swinging the rope sideways without jumping, or folding it up and dancing with it! Performing with a large group completely changes the vibe and adds energy, so it’s highly recommended.
Why not dance to this song with everyone and create irreplaceable memories?
