Hopscotch

Hopscotch was played during colonial days. Hopscotch is a game that is played with a rock you throw onto a line of squares painted on the ground. Then you hop through the diagram, on one foot, beginning with square one. Either foot may be used. You straddle the side by side squares. When the player reaches the end of the diagram he turns around and hops back in the reverse order and picks up his marker. After successfully doing this the player continues his turn by tossing his marker into square two.

     If while hopping through the diagram at any time the player steps on a line, misses a square, or loses his balance and falls, his turn ends.

     The first player to finish the course for all the numbered squares wins.
