One runner jumps with the skipping rope around a turning point (e.g. painting 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 first only (with/without intermediate step)
- Skipping rope: left leg first only (with/without intermediate step)
- Skipping rope: alternating right/left leg first (with/without intermediate step)
- Skipping rope: two-legged
- Skipping rope: one-legged left
- Skipping rope: one-legged right
- Skipping rope: walking backwards
- Skipping rope between the knees
Note: if you make a mistake, return to the start or turnaround, but after 3 mistakes you can continue jumping in place. The forms of locomotion can also be combined (e.g. outward one-legged left - return one-legged right, outward two-legged - return sprint without jumping rope).
