All of these words are synonyms of one another, but some words will be more appropriate for specific situations.
Jump is generally the most accepted word for all situations depicting the act of propelling oneself, while "hop" or "skip" also has more "playful" connotations, although skip is usually associated with exercise using a rope.
I consider a hop and/or a skip to be less strenuous than a jump. Jump can take more or less physical exertion.
"He jumped over the stream"
"The rabbit hops across the fields"
"They skip rope at the gym"
