Hopscotch - Children's Game

Hopscotch is a popular playground game, in which players toss a small object, called a marker into numbered triangles or a pattern of rectangles outlined on the ground and then hop or jump through the spaces and retrieve the object. It is a children's game that can be played with several players or alone.
