Answer 2

Get some friends round and take it in turns to turn the rope and then you have a wider range of songs a rhymes, and the children can try to touch the floor, skip etc.

Also, boxers/ wrestlers skip to increase their heart rate. etc.

Answer 3

It's certainly good for the heart...It strengthens the upper and lower body and burns a lot of calories in a short time”.
