- Summary:
- Jumping rope is one of the most timeless and universal forms of play. It can be found in nearly every era and on every continent. No one knows for sure where it came from - some cite ancient Egypt, other say ancient China. Double Dutch is perhaps the most well-known type. Brought to America by early Dutch settlers, it became a popular form of inner-city street play and gained visibility in the early 1980s when it was associated with hip-hop music and culture.
