** Please note that I will continue to post all of next week with several fun activities to keep you and your family moving this summer to maintain physical, mental, social and emotional well being through the summer months! So please stay tuned! 

Materials:
- a skipping rope
- any rope that is the correct height to jump with

** To find the right size rope, hold the handles in both hands, step on the center with both feet and pull until the rope is tight at your chest. (If it is too long simply wrap it around your hands to shorten.)


Key Skills for Jump Rope:
1) Keep your elbows at your sides.
2) Use your wrist to turn the rope.
3) Bend your knees slightly when you land.

Activity:
1) Today I would like you to warm up with jumping over rope while walking or basic jump rope on the spot. Challenge yourself to do 50 or up to 100 skips in a row without stopping! You can do it!!

2) Our first partner jump rope skill today is "SIDE BY SIDE" skipping. So give it a try! Make sure both partners are ready and talk as you work together to complete the challenge. Good Luck!

** Set a goal for yourselves that you can reach. For example, try 3 partner skips in a roll without a mistake. If this becomes too easy challenge yourself to add more skips in a row.

3) Our second partner jump rope skill today is "FRONT TO FRONT " skipping. Give it a try! Be sure to communicate! Good Luck!
