Two participants are given a skipping rope and each grasp it at the ends. They start to run one behind the other, keeping the rope taut (keep your distance). At a signal (e.g. whistle from the sports leader), both participants drop the skipping rope and the person behind tries to catch the person in front within a certain time (e.g. until the next whistle from the sports leader after 5-8 seconds). In the next round, the roles are swapped or a new partner is found. Under certain circumstances, an additional task can be introduced if the person behind catches the person in front (e.g. push-ups or stretch jumps).
Variant:
The rope can also be cut in half or thirds.
