How to play?

Select the Location: Choose a suitable location for setting up the Hopscotch Play Mat. It can be indoors on a flat surface, such as a living room floor, or outdoors on a paved area like a driveway or sidewalk. If outdoors, use chalk to draw the hopscotch layout if it's not already on the mat.

Unroll or Place the Mat: Lay the Hopscotch Play Mat flat on the chosen surface. Ensure that it's secure and won't move around during play.

Understand the Layout: Familiarize yourself and the children with the layout of the hopscotch design on the mat. Typically, it consists of a series of numbered squares or sections, with a "home" or "start" square at one end.

Select a Player: Decide who will go first. You can use a simple method like rock-paper-scissors or just take turns.

Hop and Toss the Marker: The first player stands at the starting square, often marked with "1." They toss a small object (like a stone or beanbag) into square 1 without stepping on it.

Hop Through the Course: The player hops through the course, starting with square 1 and moving to square 2, then 3, and so on. They should hop on one foot for single squares and use two feet for squares side by side.

Hopscotch Rules: Follow the traditional hopscotch rules:

• Avoid stepping on the square with the marker.
• Skip the square with the marker and land on one foot in the next square.
• Use two feet to jump over squares with two numbers.
• Maintain balance and coordination while hopping.
• Retrieve the Marker: After successfully hopping through the course, the player reaches the end (the last square).
• They then turn around and hop back, retracing their steps, and pick up the marker while standing on one foot.

Pass the Turn: The player who successfully completes their turn without making any mistakes passes the turn to the next player. If a player makes a mistake, like stepping on a line or losing balance, their turn is over, and they must try again in the next round.

Continue Play: Continue taking turns and progressing through the numbered squares. The goal is to complete the entire course from 1 to the highest number (e.g., 10 or 12) and return to the starting square without making mistakes.

Winning the Game: The player who successfully completes the entire course is the winner. They can create additional challenges by adding more rounds or increasing the complexity of the hopping pattern.

Clean Up: After playing, roll up the Hopscotch Play Mat for easy storage or leave it in place for more rounds of play.
