Two people, called turners, twirl the ropes. At least one person, called a jumper, jumps.

]]> 89366 2 0 Step Get into position The two turners face each other and back apart until the ropes have been pulled taut. Hold the ropes tightly, waist high in front of the body, shoulder width apart.

]]> 89367 3 0 Step Begin turning the ropes The turners begin turning. The rope in the left hand turns counter clockwise, while the rope in the right hand turns clockwise.

]]> 89368 4 0 Step Speed up or slow down To swing the ropes faster, pull the arms close to the body, making smaller circles. To slow the ropes, extend the arms away from the body and make larger circles.

]]> 89369 5 0 Tip A good way to regulate the speed of the turning ropes is to count “one – two, one – two” as they alternately hit the floor

]]> 89370 6 0 Step Get ready to jump in The jumper is now ready to enter the ropes. Stand next to a turner, while facing the opposite turner.

]]> 89371 7 0 Step Jump in As the nearest rope passes the jumper’s face, they take a big step and a big jump into the middle of the rope. Land with the foot that is closest to the turner whose rope will hit the ground first.

]]> 89372 8 0 Tip A good way to make sure the turners and the jumpers are both moving at the same pace is to recite jump rope rhymes.

]]> 89373 9 0 Step Begin bouncing right away Immediately start jumping, using a marching step, where the feet alternate like a marching band, or a single bounce step, where both feet hit the ground and jump simultaneously.

]]> 89374 10 0 Step Adding difficulty with jumping tricks Once you have mastered basic jumping, you can add jumping tricks, such as 180-degree turns, hopping on one foot, and more.

]]> 89375 11 0 Step Exiting the ropes When you’re finished jumping, exit the ropes near the shoulder of one of the turners. Turners can help by slowing the ropes and turning them away from the jumper.

]]> 89376 12 0 Fact Did you know? Double Dutch was introduced in the 1600s, by Dutch settlers living in what is now New York City.
