We are starting our jump rope unit. We will be starting with the jump stick. A jump stick is about 10 feet long and made of fiberglass. We slide the stick on the floor and the students jump over it. This helps students to learn how to jump straight up and down. We will also be using hula hoops to jump with, jump bands (similar to Chinese jump ropes), individual ropes, long ropes and double dutch ropes.
Please ask your students to tell you about the two kinds of ropes we have and how to measure to make sure we are using the correct size.
