MEASUREMENTS
Grid of seven squares in a winding path, each about 1ft (30cm) across.
HOW TO PLAY
1
Draw a winding path of numbered squares on the ground, ending in a large home square.
2
The first player tosses their stone into square one and hops the entire path on one foot without touching the stone's square.
3
At the far end, the player pauses to catch their breath before hopping the return trip.
4
On the way back, the player bends down mid-hop to retrieve their stone from its square.
5
If a player steps on a line or loses balance, their turn ends immediately and the next player goes; the first to complete every square wins.
