One runner jumps with the skipping rope around a turning point (e.g. colouring stick, marker cone or cone) or to the hall wall and back before handing the skipping rope to the next runner and sending them on their way. There are different ways of moving with the skipping rope to complete the course:
Single run:
- Skipping rope: right leg only (with/without intermediate step)
- Skipping rope: left leg only (with/without intermediate step)
- Skipping rope: Alternating right/left leg first (with/without intermediate step)
- Rope skipping: Two-legged
- Skipping rope: walking backwards
- Skipping rope between the knees
With a partner:
- One participant in a push-up position places their feet on the rope held by their partner (garette) and moves away with their hands. The participant who kept their feet in the air with the rope becomes the next runner (push-up position) during the handover.
