Tinikling is very similar to jump rope, but instead of a spinning rope, two bamboo poles are used. The poles are held by two people, one pole in each hand. They hit the poles on the floor, then raise them, then hit the poles together. The person(s) in the middle hop over and outside the poles before they come together. When mastered, it is considered a form of dance. I have found a set of dance 'moves' here as a lesson plan It is the national dance of the Phillipines. WARNING: Ensure that very flexible poles are used. Use hollow bamboo, not rattan, which is similar looking, but solid. This game can hurt ankles if done too aggressively or which the wrong equipment! |
