HOW TO PLAY
1

Chalk out a grid of numbered squares on the pavement in the traditional hopscotch layout.

2

The first player tosses the peever so it lands inside square number one without touching any lines.

3

That player then hops through the grid on one foot, skipping over the square holding the peever, and turns around at the far end.

4

On the way back, the player must balance on one foot while bending down to pick up the peever from its square, then hop out without stepping on any line.

5

A turn ends if the peever lands on a line, misses the correct square, or the player loses balance and touches a line or steps outside the grid.

6

Play passes to the next player, and turns rotate through increasing square numbers for each player across future turns until someone completes the whole grid.
