HOW TO PLAY

Draw the numbered grid on the ground, ending with a wider rest square.

Toss your stone onto square one, then hop through the grid on one foot, skipping the square with your stone.

3

At the rest square, turn around and hop back, bending to pick up your stone along the way without losing balance.

Stepping on a line, missing a square, or losing balance ends your turn.
