How to play
How to play
Players challenge themselves to skip within a time limit while performing counting sequences, eg. forwards, backwards, skip counting.
Call out a counting sequence for players, eg. count by 10s from 0.
On your signal, players skip for 1 minute, doing a single two-footed jump.
Each time players jump, they should call out the next number in the sequence.
Variations
