Skipping is a favourite Playground Game
at Woodlands Junior School in Kent.

Skipping is a growing sport on both national and international levels and is still seen in school playgrounds around the world. There is more to skipping than just simply turning and jumping over a rope. Our students enjoy learning new tricks which they love to show off to their friends in the playground.

Every so often we invite a professional skipper to run skipping workshops at our school. He trains a few students during the afternoon, teaching them skills and tricks and then the whole school is invited to see a performance. After school many students take up the opportunity to join in further skipping workshops. Every time the day is such a success that skipping fever hits Woodlands and our playgrounds are swarming with children skipping for months afterwards.

Below you can see some of the photos taken at our most recent skipping workshop.

First we were
taught the
basic skills
of skipping.

We love learning new tricks and gaining new ideas to try out in the playground.

Skipping involves teamwork.

Skipping improves co-ordination and fitness.

Skipping is fun and enjoyed by all.
