HOW TO PLAY
1

Draw a hopscotch-style course on the ground that ends in a small circle marked as the zero point.

2

Players take turns hopping through the numbered squares while balancing on one foot, similar to standard hopscotch.

3

Anyone who steps on a line, loses balance, or uses both feet incorrectly must freeze in place exactly where the mistake happened.

4

Other players continue their own turns and must hop around the frozen player without touching them or the marked squares.

5

A frozen player can be freed if another player successfully reaches the zero point and touches back to release them, adding a tag element to the hopscotch course.
