How it works
Three skippers jump in a line inside a long rope. Each new skipper weaves round them, bouncing in and out of the gaps, then runs out and round the turner, making a figure of eight on the floor.
Step by step
- Line up
- Three in a line
- Round number three
- Round number two
- Out and round
- Weave again
Lee’s teaching notes for each step, the video and the printable coaching card come with the All-Access Skip Pass.

SEND and inclusion
Make it work for everyone
Ideas for pupils with SEND, and for anyone who finds weave hard. Change one thing at a time.
What usually makes it hard: Following a pattern round the turners.
- TaskWalk the pattern first.
- SpaceFloor markers show the route.
- CommunicationA leader calls each move.
Seated or no-jump version. Turn one end of the rope, or follow the route in the chair.
An adapted pass is still a pass on the Skipping Awards. Use your own judgement and each pupil’s care plan. More in SEND and inclusion at skip-hop. Pupil struggling to get started? Try Lee’s tips for pupils who are struggling to skip.
