These playground stencils and game ideas were designed with the child in mind. About the stencils >> ALPHABET HOPSCOTCH This is a playground game that can be used to assist children in using their alphabet. It can be played in one of two ways. The first and most common way of playing this game is to jump from A to B, B to C, C to D, and so on without touching any of the lines until reaching the end of the alphabet. This way could be more challenging for younger children as some of the letters could be placed quite a distance from one another and some may not be able to jump that distance! The second way that can be used to play this game is to spell names, places or things and spell them out by jumping to each letter. This way can be played by anyone as the difficulty of the words can increase or decrease depending on the game of the children playing.
