Transcript of How to Play Hopscotch
How to Play HopscotchIt’s as easy as 1-2-3!
Hopscotch is a fun game to play with my
friends because we
can cheer for each other!
I will ask an adult to draw the hopscotch numbers for
my friend and I.
It is important to share the playing space with my friend so we both get a chance to hop and jump on the numbers.
My friend and I will take turns throwing our beanbags so we don’t get in each other’s way. Only one of us will jump at a time so we don’t bump into each other.
I will toss my beanbag to the number 1 on the ground in front of me. I will throw carefully so it
lands inside the box.
I will make sure I don’t hop onto the square that has my beanbag on it. I will have to hop over top the square to the next number.
I will start by jumping over top number 1 and land on two feet on the numbers 2 and 3. I will make sure I put my hands out for balance if I feel wobbly.
Next, I will hop on one foot to land
on 4 and hold my
balance by keeping my arms out to
the side.
From the 4, I will jump onto 5 and 6 and land on two
feet.
I feel like I’m going to fall, I can ask my friend to hold my
hand.
Then I will hop off 5 and
6 and land on one foot
on the number 7!
When I see 8 and 9, I will jump and land on them with my
two feet.
I’m almost to the 10 which means I’m doing a great job!
When I get to the number 10, I will
hop onto it and try to hop in a circle on
one foot so that I turn around and
can go back down the numbers to pick
up my beanbag!
After I hop myself around, I will hop off of 10 and land on 8 and 9 with two feet and continue all the
way back to my beanbag.
If a number is by itself, that means I can only land on one of
my feet. If there are two numbers side by side, I can land on both of
my feet.
When I get back to 2 and 3, I will bend
down without moving my feet and
pick up my beanbag from 1.
I will hold my beanbag in
my hand and hop on one foot onto
number 1.
To finish the game, I will hop off number 1 and clap for myself because I did a great job with my balance!
Now it’s my friend’s turn. I will cheer for them and help them if they need it.
