Learn to skip with a rope

Before children can learn to skip with a rope they need to develop their gross motor skills in the correct order. Try:

 

Jumping with two feet together, then

jumping over a line on the floor, then

jumping over a rope lying on the floor, then

jumping over a rope on the floor while someone wiggles it like a snake, then

jumping over a rope while someone swings it to and fro, then

jumping over a rope when someone else is turning it, then

jumping over a rope while you turn it yourself.

 

Look online to find some videos, but the best way to learn is to keep practising!
