Jump Rope

Afternoon recess today was a blast! Two girls brought out the long jump rope and we jumped all recess. I taught them the 'teddy bear, teddy bear' rhyme. They were all impressed with my jumping skills (spinning, touching the ground, etc), but none of them were brave enough to try.

They were brave enough to run in when we were twirling. One girl who's normally so adventurous kept screaming any time she got close to the rope. She just couldn't commit to running through! We were having so much fun some of the basketball boys came over and jumped in. It was great to get some of the kids who aren't normally very active at recess getting lots of good exercise!
