colored sidewalk chalk
colored sidewalk chalk
Preparation:
Draw a 6 foot diameter circle on the ground.
Around this draw a 10 foot circle, then a 14 foot circle.
Around this draw a 10 foot circle, then a 14 foot circle.
Instructions:
One leader stands in the middle of the circle and swings the rope around in a circle so it is at about floor level at the outer edge which should be just outside the largest circle.
All scouts stand outside the circle waiting to start.
On 'Go' signal, scouts enter the circle and jump over the rope as it comes by.
Scouts that land in the outer circle get 1 point, second circle gets 2 points, and inner circle gets 3 points for each time they jump over the rope.
If a scout is hit by the rope causing it to stop, that scout loses 3 points.
Play until someone reaches 10 points. As scouts get better, those that move to smaller circles will accumulate points faster.
The leader in the center can regulate the height of the rope by not swinging it too fast and moving it to knee or waist level which causes the inner circle to be more difficult to jump over.
