The Game of Hopscotch

Hopscotch is a traditional playground game where players hop through a numbered pattern on the ground, usually drawn with chalk, completing each square or section in order. The game typically involves tossing a small object into a designated square, then hopping through the pattern on one or two legs while avoiding that square. The objective is to complete the course without losing balance or stepping outside the lines, often turning back after reaching the end and retrieving the object. It combines coordination, balance, and agility, making it a fun and active activity for children.
