But First… ManagementĬheck the video above for an easy way to help your students figure out what a good size rope is for them. Ok, so now that you’re sold on how great jump rope is and why it might be a valuable things for your kids to learn, let’s get into it. Of course, I reference standards and curriculum guidelines – but ultimately it comes down to how useful is it going to be for my students. When planning my curriculum I usually try to plan my units and activities based on how likely I think my students are to use the content I’m teaching them outside of class. Well because it’s a super low cost activity that you can pack up in your bag and take with you literally anywhere to have a “ready to go” activity that will give you exercise and is a fun way to stay healthy. We can cover single tricks, partner tricks, team jump rope games and then there’s a whole host of “jumping” activities and games that you could bring in as well. I’ve learned that there are tons of different things you can with a jump rope. Now that I’ve been teaching a while, I always have way more activities and things that I wish I could teach my students than I have time for – and jump rope is no different. I would have never thought that I could spend 3-4 weeks teaching jump rope to students. To be honest, I didn’t know a single jump rope trick before I became a teacher. If you’re anything like me before you started teaching you didn’t really know much about jumping rope.
