Where
Outdoors

Two players stand inside a loop of elastic and the jumper hops a pattern – in, out, on, straddle – then the elastic moves higher for the next level. Remembering a sequence of jumps and doing it in rhythm trains working memory and motor planning, and kids can practice it for years.

The steps are in the app

Step-by-step instructions, tips and an easier and a harder version are waiting in the Hopsa app – along with 300 more ideas matched to your kids’ ages.

Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play
