Boys and Girls Club members across the country, including kids at the Barksdale Boys and Girls Club in Conyers, jumped at the same time for two minutes on Tuesday in an attempt to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records. Approximately 20,000 boys and girls at 1,000 clubs nationwide did jumping jacks for two minutes at 6:30 p.m. eastern on Tuesday evening to try and break the world record for the most number of people doing star jumps, or jumping jacks for two minutes. In Georgia, 25 clubs participated.
