Two participants stand on separate gymnastics benches or logs, face to face. Between them, they hold a jump rope that both grasp. The objective is to pull the other out of balance so that they lose their footing and fall to the floor.
A variation is to use two jump ropes, one in each hand.
Variation
The game can be played as a team competition:
- all from team A stand on one bench
- all from team B stand on the other
Participants meet in pairs. The team with the most players left standing on the benches at the end wins.
