I honestly had been trying to figure out a good system for doing this on my site, because the video files are huge and I don’t have a good way to deliver them. I originally created these videos for the folks in my Membership Program, but I’ve also wanted to make them available to others because I know how helpful they’ve been for me and how valuable they would be to other teachers (especially if you can’t physically do all the tricks). *Note: I didn’t include the awesome stickers on the GIF that I used for school… those are just to hopefully make you laugh… although now that I’m looking at it, I think my kids would probably like more with the stickers. Then after we had gone over each trick on the Trick Chart, I played a 5 minute video loop that I had created with 4 tricks per slide, so that students could quickly review any trick they wanted if they had a question, by watching the screen and waiting on their trick to pop up (see below for an example).
It was so great not having to demonstrate the tricks over and over every time a student had a question and it freed me up to help more students that were struggling. I then created a Powerpoint Presentation with one slide for each trick and then put them up on the screen as I was teaching, so my students could see the trick looping over and over as we were learning each new trick. So I used all of my Follow the Leader Trick Videos to create some animated GIF’s for each jump rope trick (see below). I’ve been using my Follow the Leader Jump Rope videos for the past few years and they are great, but this year I also wanted to experiment with Animated GIF’s as well. This year, I still ran my Jump Rope Unit using the same format, but this year I upgraded it a bit with Animated GIFs. My basic fram ework for teac hing tricks is that I try to focus on Basic Tricks in K-1st, Intermediate Tricks in 2nd – 3rd and Advanced Tricks in 4th-5th. I’ve already blogged in detail about How I Organize my Jump Rope Unit, but as a quick overview of how I split up the Jump Rope Tricks, you can see the Trick Chart Below:
This week I’m excited to launch an awesome new resource for Teaching Jump Rope!
