Make a hopscotch pattern on the ground or floor. You can use chalk to draw a pattern on the
ground or use masking tape on the floor. You can use a traditional hopscotch pattern or
create your own.
Each player needs a marker such as a stone, bottle cap, button,
etc.
The first player stands behind the starting line to toss his
or her marker in square one.
Hop over square one to square two and then continue hopping
to the last square, turn around, and hop back again.
Pause in square two to pick up the marker, hop in square
one, and out.
Then continue by tossing the stone in square two.
All hopping is done on one foot unless the hopscotch design
is such that two squares are side-by-side.
Then two feet can be placed down with one in each square.
A player must always hop over any square where a marker is
placed.
A player is out if the marker fails to land in the proper
square, the hopper steps on a line or in the box where the marker is, the
hopper loses balance when bending over to pick up the marker, or if a player
puts two feet down in a single box. When
you are “out” you start back over at square one.
