A grid of numbered squares, similar to hopscotch, chalked onto pavement or packed earth.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Draw a numbered grid of squares on the ground with chalk.

2

Toss your marker stone into square number one without it touching a line or landing outside the square.

3

Hop through the squares on one foot, using both feet only where two squares sit side by side, skipping over the square holding your marker.

4

Turn around at the far end of the grid and hop back the same way, pausing to scoop up your marker on the way.

5

If you step on a line, miss a square, or lose your balance, your turn ends and passes to the next player.

6

Advance to the next numbered square as your target on your next turn; the first player to clear every square wins.
