Skipping... Ninja Style!

Skipping is a difficult skill to learn... but lucky for us, we have lots of time... and we are Ninjas!

Ninjas like a challenge! Ninjas always try their best. Ninjas never give up. And Ninja's have quiet feet and soft landings, which is helpful for skipping. You can also do this at Cedar!

Let's use this time at home to learn to skip. Skipping is great exercise and it is so much fun! Skipping makes you quick and agile, so you will also play soccer and basketball better!

A warm up... Lay down a rope or tape or a towel and try these jumping tricks. You can do this inside or outside.

Skipping Tips: Don't jump too high. Land quietly.

Jump when the rope is DOWN ON THE GROUND, in front of you.

Watch this video to learn to skip. Practise inside or outside, just make sure you have a space big enough not to hit anyone with your rope! If you don't have a rope, use an imaginary one.
