ANIMALS HOPSCOTCH
This game is a variation of the traditional hopscotch that everyone can enjoy. It is an excellent beginner game for young children as it allows them to learnhow to jump on one foot, gain their balance and recognize the order of elementary numbers. This is one of the many designs that can be used for hopscotch and it comes along with some variation in game play. Hopscotch is a game about throwing, hopping and not falling over!
An unlimited amount of children may play the game. Using a pebble or a small object as a marker, the first player will throw it into square 1. They must then jump over this square and proceed through the squares counting the animals until they reach the end where they have to turn around and hop back through the course and pick up your marker along the way. Once completing the course with your marker in position 1, you must throw your marker into square 2 and proceed just as before, however this time make sure you jump over square 2 as this is where your marker is. The player will then continue in this manner until he or she reaches the end or until this player either misses the appropriate square with the marker, or if they're foot touches a line. If either of these things happens, the player looses their turn and the next player has a go. The first player to have successfully hopped all the way through the course is the winner!
