Rubber Band Rope

One of my favorite games to play on the playground was called rubber band rope. It is easy to make a rubber band rope. You take about 20 rubber bands. The first one you leave in a loop. The second one you fold over so it goes around the first one. The third one you fold over and put through the two ends of the second one. You keep adding more folded-over rubberbands. When you have a rope about 3 feet long, you pull the last rubberband through itself to tie off the end.

Now two people have to hold the ends of the rope, stretching it out so it is taut. They shouldn't pull too hard or the rubber bands will break.
At first they hold it about 2 inches off the ground (ankle height). If you are the jumper, you stand with your back to the rope and jump. First you put one foot over the rope, pulling it toward you with your ankle. Then you put over the second foot the same way. Then you take them back to where you started. You repeat this 5 timrs. If you aren't tangled up in the rope by then, the rope holders raise it to the height of your knees and you do it again. You keep going, jumping at arms length, hip height, waist height, underarm height, shoulder height and head height. After about hip height, you get to hold the rope with one foot while putting the other in and out. Almost no one can kick a foot high enough to pull down the rope from shoulder or head height, but you get to try.
When you miss (step on the rope, tangle it, etc or can't reach the rope with your foot) one of the rope holders gets to jump while you hold the rope. On your next turn, you start at the height you left off at. The game is over when no one can jump at a higher height and the winner is the one who went the highest.
