This clue could be a double definition.

'jumping over' is the first definition.
'skipping' can be an answer for 'jumping' (skipping is a kind of jumping). I am not sure about the 'over' bit.

'a rope' is the second definition.
(skipping rope is a kind of rope)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skipping that I've seen before include "amusement" , "Cutting" , "Jumping lightly or bypassing" , "Jumping with a rope" , "Missing - physical exercise" .)
