Middle School | Long rope jumping competition

October 14, 2024

As 2024 settled into fall, the crisp wind invigorated students’ minds. On the afternoon of October 10th, the students in grades 6-8 gathered for an exciting long rope jumping competition on campus. The competition rules were simple; the homeroom that had the most amount of rope skipping in a certain amount of time would win the competition.


Each homeroom member put a lot of effort into the rope jumping competition. They carefully selected  the most skilled students on rope jumping and had started to practice a week before the event .







As the bell of the YD class rang, students and teachers assembled at the  designated area. The competitiors warmed up and prepared for the contest. ASB members stood on the side ,equipt with stopwatches, acted as the judges of the competition.


Once the signal was given , the competition kicked off . The contestants skipped rope as fast as they could, and the two students responsible for swinging the rope shouted rhythmically, “One! Two! One! Two!” The rope cut through the air gracefully, creating a perfect rhythm. The cheers from each homeroom and the students’ filled the air, blending with the students enthusiasm and passion for sports, playing a symphony of youth.







In the contest , every movement was crucial to the teams success. The students who swung the rope had to maintain a balanced speed, otherwise it would have affected the students who are skipping, leading to chaos. All contestants had to cooperate  seamlessly knowing their success was dependant on their coleective efforts . The students began to truly understand the deeper meaning behind the adage from China, “When hearts are put together, even Mount Tai can be moved. One’s foot cannot stand alone, and a single hand cannot clap.”


At the end , class 6-11 took  the championship title in the sixth grade, and class 7-2 and 7-10 claimed  first in grade seven, and class 8-9 earned  the gold medal in eighth grade.

The long rope jumping competition was more than simply improving physical fitness. It reinforced the importance of teamwork, teaching students the value of cooperation and unity. Hopefully, these lessons will inspire  students to innovate  and achieve greater things in future sports activities, while embodying energy and the vitality of youth.
