Adapted Jump Rope Ideas - Part I
With modifications, all students can participate in a JRFH event. Some possible modifications include these activities:
- Imaginary Jump Rope. Who needs a jump rope? This way students can jump for extended periods of time and never miss!
- Taped X on the Floor. Students do an "imaginary jump rope" on the X to increase coordination and control.
- Jump/Hop without moving off the X.
- Jump/Hop on and off the X.
- Jump/Hop back and forth over the X.
Single rope/line taped on floor
- Jump/step/hop over the rope/line forward/backward/side/side.
- Jump/step/hop over rope/line forward, then turn around and jump back.
- Jump/step/hop back and forth down the length of the rope/line, then turn around and come back.
- Wheelchair over rope/line forward/backward.
- Pop a wheelie over the rope, then turn and back over it.
- Lying on a scooter, push/pull the length of the rope/line.
- Sitting on floor, legs parallel to rope/line, and hand on either side, perform upper body lift/press back and forth over line.
- Crawl over the rope/line (hands and knees don't touch rope/line).
- Roll, crawl or creep the length of the rope/line.
Taped lines on the floor (two or more in a series taped 3-5 feet apart)
