In the beginning of the lesson the class will come up with 5-10 different simple commands to give during the jump rope. For example the jumper could be asked to touch the floor with their hands or kick with one leg etc. Two students will be holding the ends of a large jump rope, one student will be giving the commands and one student will be jumping. Three to five commands should be given each round and then the jumper will switch to the command giving position and the command giver will take over one of the rope ends.
