Jumprope- A jump rope used in the game of skipping played by children
and sometimes young adults for exercise. One child jumps over a
spinning rope so that it passes under their feet and over their heads. Two
participants turn the rope. Children often chant jump-rope rhymes while
jumping rope. Participants may simply jump until they tire or make a
mistake, they may improvise tricks, or they may have to carry out a
predetermined set of tricks.
