HOW TO PLAY
1

Draw a numbered course of squares on the ground with chalk, mixing single squares with side-by-side pairs.

2

The first player tosses their marker stone onto square one, then hops through the course on one foot, skipping the square with the stone.

3

Landing with both feet is allowed only where two squares sit side by side; every other square is a one-foot hop.

4

On the way back, the player pauses on the square before the marker, bends down without falling, and scoops it up.

5

Players take turns tossing the marker one square further each round, and stepping on a line or losing balance ends that turn.
