    Hopscotch is arguably the best playground game of all time. It offers lighthearted fun and teaches younger players plenty of valuable developmental lessons like counting, gross motor skills, and patience. And it has no age limit! Hopscotch can be as fun at four as it can at forty. Whether you’re a parent trying to teach your child the rules of the game or a light-hearted adult hungry to play with your friends, keep reading. We’ll give you an easy step-by-step guide on how to play hopscotch, as well as some rule variations to make it extra challenging!

    Draw your hopscotch board on the ground. Create a set of vertical squares numbered 1 through any number you want. Numbers 4 & 5 and 7 & 8 are often placed side-by-side.

    To begin a hopscotch game, toss a stone or flat object into the inside of the 1 square. If your stone touches the sides of the square, you lose your turn.

    The goal of hopscotch is to hop through the inside of each square on one foot. If you lose your balance or touch any of the square’s sides, you lose your turn.

    Draw a hopscotch board on the ground.

    To start a hopscotch game, draw squares on the ground using chalk. Make your squares large enough to fit one foot and wide enough so that a stone can land inside each square without touching its lines or bouncing out of it. It's most common to number your squares vertically from 1-10 with 1 at the bottom. Pairs of 4 & 5 and 7 & 8 are often placed side-by-side.

    Draw your ending square extra wide and designate it as a rest or stop area. This is where a player can take a moment to turn around and/or regain their balance. Sometimes, the ending square is given a nickname like “Heaven.”

    Asphalt, patio stones, and concrete make the best surfaces for drawing a hopscotch board, but the grid can be designed on any surface.

    Throw a flat stone or similar object to land on square 1.

    Have your starting player toss a stone or other flat object (a beanbag, a shell, a plastic button, a marker) onto the hopscotch board. The stone has to land inside the square without touching the border or bouncing out. If the player successfully lands the stone between the lines, they move on to the next step. If they fail, they lose their turn and the next player goes.

    Change the shape of the hopscotch course.

    For an added challenge, draw a circular hopscotch board instead of a square one with the numbers arranged in an inward spiral direction.

    You can also try drawing it as a triangle shape, a rectangle shape, or, for extreme difficulty, a rocket shape!

    When drawing a circular hopscotch board, start from the middle (with your highest-numbered circle) and go outward. This way, you can make “Heaven” as big as you need.

    Vary the size and shape of the squares.

    Make some squares smaller so that people have to jump on their tiptoes. You can even design some spaces in the shape of a shoe to control the direction each player faces. Get creative!
