HOW TO PLAY
1
Draw a course of numbered squares on the ground, ending in a wider resting square.
2
The first player tosses their stone into square one, then hops on one foot through the remaining squares, skipping the square holding the stone.
3
Balance on one foot in single squares and land with both feet in any paired squares along the course.
4
On the way back, pause in the square before the stone, bend down to scoop it up, then hop the rest of the way out.
5
If a player steps on a line, loses balance, or lands in the wrong square, their turn ends and passes to the next player.
6
The winner is the first player to complete every numbered square in order without a mistake.
