How to play Frog Jumpsies French Skipping?

SET UP

For all the games, you will need two friends with you to hold the elastic at each end while you play.

You can take turns playing the games so everyone gets a turn.

Everyone can join in singing the rhymes!

Alternatively, you could use two chairs to hold the elastic at each end for single player!

Once you have mastered each jumping game, you can increase the difficulty by starting with the elastic higher up your legs.

However, we recommend not going higher than your knees!
