IRISH JUMPS

Step 11. Get elastic bands and tie them all together tie them in a circle like a big elastic band.

2. Ask two people to stand at either side of the circle and you stand in the middle.

Step 2 Put one in and one foot out. The foot that is inside put outside on the other side and the foot that is outside put inside. Swap feet four times.

Step 3 Put two of your feet in at the same time. Next you put your two feet out at opposite sides. Then put your feet back in.

Now try and put both of your feet on the two sides of the elastics.

Step 4Now you are on the second piece. Go to the two sides of the two lines of elastics and jump over the other one and then jump back.

Cross the two lines of elastics and stand in the middle.

Step 5Jump up and try and land back in the middle with the lines of elastics straight. Do the same again except stand on the elastics – jump – and you should land in the middle.

Step 6 Stand with both feet at either side outside the elastics, turn around once and jump into the middle. Take turns of who’s to jump!
