5.0 out of 5 stars Chinese Jump Rope, April 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Chinese Jump Rope (Klutz) (Spiral-bound)

This is a great manual for a PE or Elementary teacher. The pictures and directions are very easy to understand and Chinese jump rope is a fun, low cost activity for a classroom teacher. There are a lot of great ideas for individual and team games. Overall, this is an excellent activity guide for kids, but might be hard for younger children to comprehend without adult assistance. The two jump ropes that are included are very helpful because they are almost impossible to find in stores.

~ My niece got this last year when she was ten, and brought it to a family party.
The rope supplied with the set was the right size for the kids, and the illustrations were very clear.

I had remembered playing Chinese jump rope as a child, but couldn't remember any of the games.
The girls age 8-11, enjoyed playing, and even my mother and I jumped in!

This is a nice set for a girl age 7-11 who has friends or cousins enough easily available to start a game.
A nice guide, and entertaining at a children's gathering.

This review is from: Chinese Jump Rope (Klutz) (Spiral-bound)

I bought this for my 8-year-old daughter as something she could take to school in her pocket or school bag to play with on the play ground. When I was in elementary school we girls always played jump rope on the play ground during recess. But before the bell rang and after school we didn't have access to the playground toys. A Chinese jump rope was something we could wad up in our pockets and use any time we wanted. The ideas in this book were new to me...not at all like the kinds of "jumps" my friends and I did back in the day. But new ideas are always fun. My daughter loves her new jump rope and her friends at school are enjoying it too. It's so simple even my younger two children can play with her...or she can use a couple of kitchen chairs to hold the ends of the elastic so she can practice when no one's around to play.
