Jump Roping...it's not just for kids

DH was out doing marsh work tonight, so it was me and the kids. We cleaned up the yard and organized the garage. Seems you always find something "new" when organizing. We came across the jump ropes we bought last year, a single jumper and a group jumper. Even though the thermometer was reading 99 degrees in the sun, we just couldn't resist taking a few jumps. Ray liked doing the snake jump; the people at either end of the rope just slither it back and forth on the ground and he tries to jump over. The rest of us had a blast perfecting our "jumping in" technique. Then I started in with Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear turn around, Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear touch the ground. Well, I couldn't remember what came next so Lee suggested we Google it. Great Idea! In less than 1 minute we had a whole list of jump rope rhymes. We printed out 3 and headed back outside and jumped until our legs just about fell off. Check these rhymes out; there are many that are perfect for sneaking in summer school without the kids even knowing it.
