2 Liter Jump

Description: In '2 Liter Jump', participants must deftly jump over a half-filled 2 liter bottle, taped to a 6-foot rope. The game leader stands in the center, swinging the rope (and attached bottle) in a circular motion on the ground. Participants arrayed in a circular formation try their best to avoid coming into contact with the bottle by jumping over it. If the bottle hits a participant, they're eliminated from the game. The last one remaining undamaged by the swinging threat is declared the winner.

Instructions:

  1. Fill a 2-liter bottle half full with water.
  2. Duct tape the half-filled 2-liter bottle to a 6-foot rope.
  3. The game's leader stands in the middle, holding the rope.
  4. Swing the attached rope-and-bottle in a circular path along the ground.
  5. Participants form a circle around the leader.
  6. The participants must jump over the rope-and-bottle as it swings around.
  7. If a participant is hit by the bottle, they are eliminated from the game.
  8. The last participant remaining in the circle is the winner.

Objective: Avoid contact with the bottle, outlast the other participants, and be the last one standing to win the game.
