It’s fun to skip rope on your own, but it’s even more exciting when two friends swing a giant rope for you. Well, as Guinness World Records tells us, this group of 14 dogs has gotten pretty awesome at group jumprope. The rope swings down, and all 14 dogs go flying at the exact same time to hop over. Now, if we could only get them to swing the rope…
Wee ones: Can you count to 14 to count those dogs? Try it and see how high you can go!
Little kids: If the 1st dog makes it over the rope, and the 3rd, and the 5th…which dog do you think should hop over next? Bonus: If 14 dogs try to jump but the shortest dog trips, how many make it over the rope?
Big kids: How many poodle paws do the 4 jumping poodles have? Bonus: If these 14 dogs are just 1/4 of the total dogs in the world that can skip rope, how many dogs can skip rope?
Answers:
Wee ones: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14!
Little kids: The 7th dog, since every other dog makes it. Bonus: 13 dogs.
Big kids: 16 paws. Bonus: 56 dogs.
