There are many ways to play Chinese Jump Rope, but this is the way I know how: Stretch the jump rope between to chairs to make it a rectangle. Use this pattern: In, Out, Left, Right, On. Start by straddling the jumprope. On in, jump inside so both feet are inside the jumprope. On out, straddle the jumprope like you started. On left, jump with both feet out of the rope on the left side On right, jump with both feet out of the rope on the right side On on, jump on the two longs sides of the rope. HAVE FUN! by Missyboo
It's unclear when jump roping began. According to the jump rope institue "The first concrete evidence of jump rope activity can be seen in medieval paintings where children roll hoops and jump rope down the cobblestone streets of Europe. Although, the exact origin of jump rope activity is unclear. Some date jump roping to ancient China; however, the Western versions probably originated from 1600 A.D. Egypt. What is known is that jump roping, in some form or another, spread through Europe to the Netherlands, and eventually to North America." While it likely dates back to china no one is positive about this.
