How to Do Chinese Rope With Your Hands

Chinese jump rope is a game that looks a lot like hopscotch and requires three or more players. It differs from normal jump rope in that the player jumps around the rope, rather than the rope circling the player. The game typically involves using only the feet, both for the jumper and the holders of the rope, but in certain cases you can use your hands when the rope gets too high off the ground.

Instructions

    • 1

      Have two people stand a few feet apart from each other with a circle of rope stretched around their ankles. They can create patterns with the rope, such as an X, or one person can stretch his feet out so the rope takes the shape of a triangle -- whatever the holders of the rope want to do.

    • 2

      Set a predetermined series of jumps the player must perform. For example, jumping into the pattern, then hopping on one foot outside the pattern, then jumping back in.

    • 3

      Raise the rope a little bit with each successful run. After the rope moves up about a foot, have the holders kneel down and take the rope in their hands.

    • 4

      Continue the game, raising the rope a bit after each round, until someone fails to complete the jumps without touching the rope.
