In Belgium we still use this "old" compulsory for our championships for the
little kids. It's something they can work on and they really like it. There
's also the compulsory in double dutch :

jump in
two 360 to one side (4 jumps each)
two 360 to the other side (4 jumps each)
two side straddles
two forward straddles
8 can can
jump out (diagonal)
