Two participants swing the rope (2-3 skipping ropes knotted together). One participant goes to the centre from one side, jumps over the rope a few times and runs out on the other side. The jumper runs behind the swinger and returns to the centre. The jumper thus moves in the shape of an eight. Once the participant has completed a few rounds, the positions are swapped.
Attention:
Depending on the direction of the swing, there is an easier and more difficult side to get to the centre.
Variant I:
In the centre, try to pick up an object (e.g. a hat or a coin) and put it down again.
Variant II:
Start in the centre, starting position sitting or in the push-up position. In these positions, try to jump over the rope as it swings past.
