5 Pass the marker on to the next person. If you completed the course with your marker on square one (and without losing your turn), then throw your marker onto square two on your next turn. Your goal is to complete the course with the marker on each square. The first person to do this wins the game! Variations • Change the shape of the hopscotch course. Make it circular, with the numbers going in a spiral direction. Or make it a rectangle, triangle, or firework! It's easiest to start drawing your circular course from the middle and go outward. That way you can make it as big as you need—instead of ending up with your last square being microscopic. • Vary the size and shape of the squares. Make some of them smaller so that people have to step on their tip toes. You can even make some in the shape of a shoe to control the direction in which the person faces. Get creative! • Make some squares into islands. That way, a person needs to jump over a distance to get to it. Just make sure the spaces are jump-able! And who said hopscotch didn't require skill? • Set a time limit. Make it into a game of "speed hopscotch." Each person has a certain amount of time to complete the course, or else they lose their turn. Or you could turn it into a race!
