　　Chinese Jump Rope is a challenging game played by anyone anywhere．

　　The simple rules test the skill and coordination(协调)of all players．

　　A jumper jumps until a jumping mistake is made．

　　●A mistake can be made if a jumper jumps“out”instead of“in”．

　　●A mistake is also made if a jumper touches the rope incorrectly in the game．

　　●After making a mistake, the jumper trades positions with an ender．The jumper starts from the very beginning of the game on the next turn．Every Chinese Jump Rope game begins with the rope held in basic position．

　　●Face each other and step inside the rope．

　　●Place the rope around the ankles．

　　●Step back until the rope is stretched．

　　●Two parallel(平行的)jumping lines, about 12 inches(30 cm)apart, are stretched between the enders．

　　●The jumper stands outside the rope, ready to play．

　　●Jump both feet inside the rope．

　　●Jump both feet on top of the rope．The left foot lands on the left rope; the right foot lands on the right rope．

　　●Jump both feet from the middle to the outside of the rope．Feet land together on one side．

　　●Jump over both ropes from one side．Both feet land together on the other side of the rope．

　　Jump quickly side-to-side．Both feet start“out”from one side of the ropes．

　　●Jump side：The left foot lands outside the left rope．The right foot lands inside the rope．

　　●Jump side again quickly：The left foot lands inside the rope．The right foot lands outside the right rope．

　　Jumpers call the steps out loud while jumping．Calling helps the jumpers remember the“pattern”of the jumps!

　　Practice“jumping steps”with these simple jumping games!

　　In a small town far away, a man stole some money from a house．The police began to look for the thief, and they found him in two days．They brought him to the police station and found some of the money in his coat．

　　There was a new policeman at the police station, and they wanted to give him some work．

　　“Take this thief to the city,”said one of them．“You must go there by train, and it goes very soon．Don’t be late．”

　　The policeman and the thief set out along the road to the station．On their way they came to a shop．In this shop bread was sold．

　　“We have no food, and we must eat something in the train”．said the thief,“It’s a long way to the city and it will take a long time．I’ll go into this shop and buy some bread．Then you and I can eat it in the train．Wait here for me．”

　　The policeman was glad．“I’ll have some food in the train,”he thought．“Be quick,”he said to the thief．“We haven’t much time．”

　　The thief went into the shop, and the policeman waited in the street for a long time．But then he began to think about the train, and at last he went into the shop．

　　“Where’s that man who came in here to buy some bread?”asked the policeman．

　　“Oh, he went out of the back door,”said the shopkeeper．

　　The policeman ran out of the back door, but he could not see the thief．He ran down the road but he could not find him．So he had to go back to the police station and tell the others about it．They were very angry with him and he was very unhappy．

　　All the police of the town began to look for the thief again, and they soon caught him．They brought him back to the police station and called the same policeman．

　　“Now,”said one of them angrily,“take him to the city, and don’t lose him again!”

　　The policeman and the thief set out again along the same road to the station, and they came to the same shop．

　　“Wait here,”said the thief．“I want to go into that shop and buy some bread for our journey．”

　　“Oh, no,”said the policeman．“You did that before, and you ran away．This time, I’ll go into the shop and buy the bread, and you must wait here for me．”
