Chinese jump rope
game
Quick Summary
Chinese jump rope is a variation of the traditional jump rope game. In this version, a stationary, often elastic, rope is held in a rectangular shape around the legs of two players. The jumper then performs designated hops in and out of this rectangle, with the rope being raised with each successive jump. This game is distinct from the more common form where players swing a rope and jump over it. Jump rope rhymes, which are integral to many jump rope games, can accompany the actions or stunts performed by the jumper.123
