  1. Games I Play - Hopscotch

    Share Share Post
    In Spring the game I play is Hop Scotch. One girl gets a piece of chalk and She draws four big squares. Then another girl gets a stone and she throws it into one of the squares. She hops on one foot and lifts the stone out of the square and trys to throw it into the next square. If the stone goes out of the square then that girl is out. Another girl trys the same thing as the first girl.
    While she is hopping she says a rhyme like this.
    Hop Scotch into your box
    Hop Scotch come out of your box
    Whoover you catch is one of your men
