🦘🔎 THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING MR SKIPPY!

❤️ 12 YEARS LATER… AND HE STILL HAS THE PHOTO!

Yesterday, at the Hertfordshire Headteachers’ Conference, we had a wonderful surprise!

A headteacher came over to our stand and showed us a photograph he’d kept on his phone for 12 YEARS! 📸

There he was, dressed as MR SKIPPY, our Skip2Bfit kangaroo mascot, entertaining the children during a school workshop!

He still remembers how hot and sweaty he got inside that costume! 😂

Back then, he was a teacher. Today, he’s a headteacher. And 12 years later, he still remembers that special Skip2Bfit day!

But here’s the mystery… 🕵️‍♂️

🦘 WHERE IS MR SKIPPY?

Many years ago, Mr Skippy went missing after one of our school visits!

We think he may still be sitting in a school cupboard somewhere, waiting to be discovered! 😂

And that’s the only reason Mr Skippy stopped making appearances at our workshops!

So we’re wondering…

👀 Is Mr Skippy hiding in YOUR school?

🦘 Has anyone seen him?

📸 Does anyone remember dressing up as Mr Skippy?

We’d LOVE to find him!

But whether we find the original or not, we’re thinking it’s time to get a NEW Mr Skippy and bring back even more fun back to our school workshops!

After all, Skip2Bfit isn’t just about getting children active, improving fitness and building confidence. It’s also about creating wonderful memories that last a lifetime. ❤️

SO… SHOULD WE BRING MR SKIPPY BACK? 🦘

👇 VOTE IN OUR STORY POLL!

💚 YES! Bring him back!
😂 YES! But the headteacher has to wear the suit!

🥇 316 SKIPS IN TWO MINUTES! 🥇

My son David with the brilliant Isla at Minterne Junior School today.

Isla achieved an incredible 316 skips, beating every other score in the school. She also boxes twice a week, and it shows in her footwork, balance, rhythm and timing.

This is why I keep banging the drum for the Skip2Bfit 2min challenge in every school. In boxing clubs, children skip because it develops fitness, coordination, confidence and discipline.

It frustrates me as a professional boxing trainer that skipping is still dismissed as just a playground game. It is a simple, inclusive and measurable form of exercise that can transform children’s fitness.

Until we recognise it for what it really is, meaningful change will not happen. Perhaps one day the powers that be will finally listen.

With the right vision, every child could learn to skip like a boxer.

Congratulations, Isla. You are already a Skip2Bfit Gold Skipper! Make sure your teacher prints your official Gold Certificate because you have thoroughly earned it. 🏆

In PE, leadership isn’t about telling people what to do. It’s about showing them.

If you want children and adults to be active, lead from the front and set the standards . Put the work in. Be the example.

Respect isn’t given. It’s earned.

Sub-50 at 62. Running and skipping. Still doing the work! Sub-50 at 62. Running and skipping. Still INSPIRING people by leading by EXAMPLE..! 💯✅

Planning a PE meeting?

Bring the Youth Sport Trust award winning programme Skip2Bfit along for an active, practical session that gets teachers involved and shows them exactly how the challenge works.

But Skip2Bfit is not just a one day workshop.

We don’t simply leave your school with a bag of ropes. We leave you with a complete scheme of work that teachers can continue using year after year.

That is the difference. That is the legacy.

In a seven-week study involving Year 5 and Year 6 pupils across four schools, children completing the regular two-minute Skip2Bfit Challenge achieved an average improvement of one mark in their SATs assessments.

Skip2Bfit inspires children, teachers and parents, supports whole school improvement and creates a lasting culture of physical activity.

Limited funding is currently available for early bookings on a first come, first served basis.

Send us a message to book Skip2Bfit for your PE meeting or school.

Book the best. Book Skip2Bfit.

256 skips in the Skip2Bfit two minute challenge!
Today I met the remarkable Sui, who has recently arrived from Japan and comfortably achieved the highest Skip2Bfit score in the entire school.
She could skip beautifully, perform doubles and move with a level of rhythm, balance, timing, coordination and footwork that immediately stood out.
Her proud mum explained that skipping had been a regular part of Sui’s school life in Japan. That experience showed today.
For 25 years, I have tried to persuade decision makers that skipping should be taken far more seriously in British education. It is not merely a playground game.
Skipping develops fitness, coordination, resilience, determination and the fundamental movement skills children need for virtually every sport. A counting rope also gives every child a starting score, a reason to persevere and measurable progress they can feel proud of.
I can walk into almost any boxing club and see children who can skip. Yet I regularly visit primary school playgrounds where very few children have ever been properly taught.
Sui showed us exactly what children can achieve when skipping is taught, practised and valued.
Every child should learn to skip. Every child should have a rope adjusted to their height. Every child should experience the confidence that comes from beating their own score.
Sui earned a Skip2Bfit FitPack for her outstanding achievement, and it was an absolute pleasure to present it to her.
Well done, Sui. You were exceptional and you made my day! 👏👏👏
Perhaps one day, the people shaping our curriculum will recognise what children are currently missing. Until then, I will keep banging the drum. 🥁

This absolutely made my day ❤️

At today’s school, Fairford Academy Barnehurst teacher recognised me from over 20 years ago, when she took part in Skip2Bfit at Riverview Junior School in Gravesend.

More than two decades later, she still remembered the challenge. Today, her own son was at the school, so I just had to give him a Skip2Bfit rope of his own!

From one generation to the next, the skipping continues. That is what Skip2Bfit is all about. One school day, one challenge and a memory that can last more than 20 years. ❤️💪🏻
