Rope jumping

Rope Jumping 10

When it comes to rope-based activities, jump rope is the classic example, and turning it into a sport gives you rope jumping.

In teams of 12, two people hold the ends of the rope while 10 people jump, competing as a team for the highest number of jumps.

Specialized ropes are also available on the market.

Here are some rope-based exercises that are perfect for young children.

Many activities are introduced, and all of them—whether jumping over the rope, pulling it, or swinging it—help exercise the body.

If you incorporate these exercises into playtime, it could be a great way to encourage more efficient body movement!

Cool! Rope skipping trick

Rope Skipping PART-2

Are you familiar with rope skipping? It’s a performance where you incorporate technical tricks while jumping rope.

It seems regular double-unders and the like are included as well, so you probably learned the basics back in elementary school! So, now that you’re an adult, why not start rope skipping to help relieve a lack of exercise in your daily life?

centipede race

Centipede race 400 m relay Civic Sports Day Amami City

It’s a game where several members run with their legs tied together in a vertical line with a rope.

Needless to say, the key is synchronizing everyone’s steps.

There are various play styles, such as head‑to‑head races between teams and relays.

Since the number of participants can be increased without limit, it’s used to compete for the world’s number one spot in the Guinness World Records.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could improve your balance while having fun moving your body? In this “Rope Battle,” you stand inside a ring, tie your right foot to your opponent’s right foot with a rope, and pull—whoever steps out of the rope loses! It’s a game that requires both balance and strategy against your opponent, so give it a try!

Pull-ring toss

I shared it with photos on Instagram 🌸 My son was playing with a ring toss after attaching a string to it, so I named it the “pull ring toss” 😊#StayAtHomeSquadLife with children#tiktok classroomSummer Vacation Craft#HandmadeToys#AtHomePlay#StayHomeTime

With this loop with a string attached, you can easily enjoy a ring toss game.

First, roll up some newspaper to make a ring.

Wrap it with vinyl tape from the outside to reinforce it.

It’s also recommended to decorate it by adding masking tape or similar on top.

Then, attach a piece of yarn or another string to the ring, and it’s complete! Use building blocks or crumpled newspaper as targets, place them in various spots, aim at the targets and toss the ring, then pull it back to yourself with the string.

Draw a line to clearly show where to throw from.

Tree climbing

Forest recreation - tree climbing

The view from high up is truly special.

Of course, those with a fear of heights might say, “No way,” but if you’re up in a tree you climbed with your own strength, there’s a view waiting that will blow that fear away! That said, some branches are brittle and it can be dangerous.

That’s where rope-assisted tree climbing—rope climbing—comes in to reduce those risks.
