EZ Turn Double Dutch Ropes

Unique handle design for the easiest-turning Double Dutch ropes!
You must choose an option from above before adding to your cart.

Molded-plastic ball bearings fused to ropes inside 5-1/2”L handles creates the smoothest and fastest-spinning Double Dutch rope! 1/4” dia PVC rope is great for speed jumping, as well as beginner learning. Rope color designates rope length. 

Smooth-Turning Ropes

The 1/4'' dia PVC rope is thick enough to hold up to institutional use, but thin enough to still spin quickly for speed-jumping bouts. PVC absorbs impact when ropes strike the ground so they will hold up to high-speed use by advanced users. Ergonomic, one-piece plastic handle offers grip, comfort, and control at high speeds. Textured pattern keeps grip tight.

Easy Rope Recognition

EX-Turn Double Dutch ropes are much longer than standard length jump ropes because they’re made specifically for Double Dutch jumping. This allows for multiple students to be simultaneously involved in physical activity. Choose from 3 sizes, easily identified by the color of the rope. Choose 14’L green ropes for individual jumping, 16’L blue ropes for partner or solo jumping, or 30’ red ropes for partner and group jumping routines.

The EZTurn Double Dutch Ropes are specially designed for smooth, tangle-free turning and easy rope control, making them ideal for introducing and mastering Double Dutch jumping. What sets them apart is the integrated swivel mechanism in the handles, which reduces wrist strain and makes rope turning smoother for beginners and advanced users alike.

Whether your students are first-time jumpers or seasoned pros, these ropes open up a world of creative, cooperative physical activities. Here are 15 unique and engaging ideas for using EZTurn Double Dutch Ropes to develop fundamental movement skills in your PE class!

1. Double Dutch Basics Bootcamp: Teach students the rhythm of entering and jumping using “step-in, bounce, step-out” drills. Focuses on timing and coordination.

2. Jump-In Jam: Students stand outside the ropes and practice timing their entry as ropes swing. Reinforces reaction time and body control.

3. Rhythm Riders: Add music with different tempos and challenge jumpers to match the beat. Develops rhythmic movement and auditory skills.

4. Jump Code Challenge: Students perform patterns: 2 jumps, clap, 2 jumps, spin. Builds motor planning and memory.

5. Partner Pulse Play: Two students jump side-by-side in rhythm. Promotes partner cooperation and synchronicity.

6. Hot Potato Hop: Students pass a ball while jumping. Builds hand-eye coordination and focus.

7. Animal Action Jump: Call out an animal and students must mimic its jumps (e.g., kangaroo = high jumps). Encourages creative movement.

8. Double Dutch Dodge: One jumper avoids a soft thrown ball while jumping. Encourages awareness and dodging ability.

9. Mirror Me Movements: One jumper creates a pattern; the next must copy it exactly. Boosts sequencing and focus.

10. Trick of the Day Challenge: Introduce a new trick (e.g., side swing or jump turn) and challenge students to learn it. Builds self-efficacy and skill acquisition.

11. Backward Bounce Bash: Turn ropes backward and have students jump in reverse direction. Enhances reaction time and adaptability.

12. Double Dutch Dance-Off: Students choreograph a dance routine while jumping. Fosters expression, rhythm, and creativity.

13. Whisper Jump Countdown: Whisper a number to each jumper—they must jump that many times before exiting. Adds listening and counting practice.

14. Jump Start Storytime: Tell a short story—students act out parts (e.g., stomping, leaping) during jumps. Merges narrative and physical expression.

15. Team Tempo Challenge: Groups compete to complete 10 successful entries without rope stopping. Promotes cooperation, consistency, and precision.
