How to Play By the Number Hopscotch
What You'll Need:
- Chalk
- Pebbles
Step One: Make a traditional hopscotch course. If you want to hop from one numbered square to the next, you'll have to spot something visible in the neighborhood that represents that number.
Step Two: Want to hop to one? Find something solo like a flagpole or a ball. Want to take the leap to two? Find something with two legs or two wheels. Ready to skip over to four? A car with four tires or a dog with four legs had better be nearby.
Step Three: The first one to the last square wins. Use the pebbles to mark your place while someone else takes a turn.
