In brief: Half the team hold rope, half the team skip.

Intensity: High

Introduction: This is an innovative variation of the ‘Giant Skip’ activity created by a team of trainers from NACLI.

Prop(s): 3-metre ropes, enough for half the number of members in a team.

How to play:

• Half the team will be the rope-bearers and the other half will be the ‘skippers’.
• Ask the whole team to stand in a circle, alternating between the rope-bearers and the ‘skippers’.
• Each rope will be held by 2 rope-bearers with a ‘skipper’ in between them (i.e. bearer – ‘skipper’ – bearer – ‘skipper’ – bearer – ‘skipper’ – bearer – ‘skipper’ – back to the first bearer)
• The challenge is for all the ‘skippers’ to skip simultaneously as a team with the help of the rope-bearers.
• A successful skip is counted as one where all the ‘skippers’ clear a jump together and no one is tripped by the rope.

Variation(s):

Challenge the team to set a target for the highest number of successful consecutive skips. Should anyone trip at a skip, the counter is set back to zero.
