I remember as a kid jumping rope. My dad would cut a piece of rope from my mother's clothesline. Showing my age. If you do not know the term, a clothesline is a rope or wire strung between two trees where mom hung the washed, wet clothes to dry. Yep, that was before dryers.
I would spend hours jumping rope. It was something I could do by myself. Hey, we didn’t live near other kids and my brothers thought it was a girl thing. Well, now jump rope has come to Urukundo Learning Center. Both girls and boys participate. It is a competitive sport, and I think it is great. I thank everyone who helped supply us with the needed ropes.
Dale and Tricia not only brought the ropes but Dale Introduced the new sport to the students during lunch break. Jumping rope is a fun way to exercise and competition is the name of the game. Who can jump higher and who can jump longer?
Dale takes his turn holding the rope. How high can you jump? Still determining if jumping would be a good idea. For the kids, yes. For me, no. Age does make a difference.
Education DeanTheogin and Dale help turn Double Dutch ropes. There are so many ways the ropes can be used. Our students will try them all.
