- You make eight squares on the ground. Then get a piece of flat stone, and kick it into each square, without putting your foot on the line or giving two hops in one square.
In the fourth and seventh square you mark R, + you may put your two feet down in them to rest. When you have got to the last square, you turn your back to the squares, throw your stone over your head, and whatever square your stone goes into, you put your initials in it. Who ever get the most squares wins.
