How to Play Hopscotch:
Player one tosses her rock into the first square. The rock must
land completely within the square without touching a line or bouncing
out. If the rock lands in the wrong square, the player's turn is
over. Otherwise, the player hops through the hopscotch court
beginning on square one.
Side by side squares are straddled, with the left foot landing in the
left square, and the right foot landing in the right square. Single
squares must be hopped on one foot. Squares labeled
"Safe" "Home" or "Rest" may be hopped
through in any manner.
When a player reaches the end of the court, she turns around and hops
back through the court, moving through the squares in reverse order and
stopping to pick up her rock on the way back. Upon successfully
completing the sequence, the player continues her turn by tossing her rock
into square number two, and repeating the pattern.
If while hopping through the court in either direction, the player
steps on a line, misses a square, or loses her balance, her turn ends. The
player starts on her next turn where the player last left off.
The first player to complete every numbered square on the hopscotch
court wins the game.
