  • Tell your child ¡Salta sobre! (Jump over!) Let her jump over the rope several times.
  • See what other things in the house your child can jump over: stuffed animals, blocks etc.
  • Have your child raise the objects over his head and ¡Salta debajo! Jump under!
  • Now move up to ¡Vuela como un pájaro! (Fly like a bird!) debajo and sobre.

Variations:

Let your child choose the form of movement & you choose sobre or debajo.
Point to an object & your child tells you if they are going sobre or debajo.
