ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Chinese jump rope

Chinese jump rope is a fun game that you and your friends can play using a long elastic rope. The rope usually has two people holding each end and a third person jumps over it in different ways.

To start the game, you need a long elastic rope that can stretch and loop into a circle. Two people stand opposite each other, each holding one end of the rope. Then they wrap the rope around their ankles, making sure that it is stretched tightly.

Now you're ready to play! The goal of the game is to jump over the rope in different ways without getting tangled up. You can jump over the rope with both feet, one foot, or alternate feet. You can also add twists, turns, and even dance moves while jumping.

As you get better at the game, you can increase the difficulty by raising the rope higher off the ground, adding more people to hold the rope, or even creating more complex patterns with the rope.

Chinese jump rope is a great way to spend time with friends, get some exercise, and train your coordination and balance skills. So grab a rope and start jumping!
