turning backward and away from the
jumper. To enter front door, the jumper
follows the rope in and jumps when it
completes the turn. To enter backdoor, the
jumper waits until the rope reaches its
peak and moves in as the rope moves
downward. Learning to enter at an angle is
usually easier, but any path that is
comfortable is acceptable.

player, a non-frozen player can exchange their
beanbag for a beanbag held by a frozen player. If
two frozen players are within tossing distance,
they can thaw each other by exchanging their
bean bags through the air using a toss and a catch.
Both tosses have to be caught or the beanbags are
retrieved and tried again from their previous
location. After students have learned the game,
taggers can interfere with the tossing of beanbags
between two frozen players by batting them to the
