Rainbow Rope Routines
For a single child, a rope of any Rainbow colour chosen by the child
will suffice. Simple skipping for 5 minutes morning and afternoon is
all that is required. The child can be encouraged to add more
interesting variations and use a different coloured rope for each routine.
The aim is for each child to experience skipping for up to five minutes
in a session to improve cardio-vascular functioning, muscle tone and
eye hand co-ordination. For groups, single ropes of every colour can be distributed,
which makes for a colourful display when in action. Longer ropes for team games and challenges make for social interactions as well as exercise.
The aim is still for the 5 minute experience.
