| 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.
