Let's jump PE Nation!
Today we map out engaging jump rope stations that scale from kindergarten to fifth grade, tie movement to heart health, and keep classes flowing with limited staff. From Chinese jump rope patterns to long rope timing, we share practical setups, cues, and safety tips you can use tomorrow.
• K–1 adaptations using floor shapes and simple jumps
• Chinese jump rope patterns with ankle to knee progressions
• single-rope zones for beginner, intermediate, advanced
• long rope entries, rhythm, and partner timing
• Jump Over the Brook for distance and power with safeguards
• Helicopter for quick, inclusive jumping games
• obstacle course options that teach heart health
• using task cards, volunteer roles, and rotation timing
Take care,
Dave
