If there is one person, then that person holds each one end of the rope in each hand. They swing the rope from behind their head, over their head, and then under their feet. When it is under their feet, they must jump over the rope so it turns continuously. The other option is with 3 people where 2 people hold the rope on either end and turn it, while one person or more will jump in the middle. When there are two jump ropes being used this is called double dutch and is a fancier, more difficult version of normal jumping rope.
