1. How to Play Hopscotch
It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

2. Hopscotch is a
fun game to play
with my friends
because we can
cheer for each
other!

3. I will ask an adult
to draw the
hopscotch
numbers for my
friend and I.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Next, I will hop
on one foot to
land on 4 and
hold my
balance by
keeping my
arms out to
the side.

9. 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.

10. Then I will hop
off 5 and 6 and
land on one
foot on the
number 7!

11. 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!

12. 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!

13. 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.

14. When I get back to 2 and
3, I will bend down
without moving my feet
and pick up my beanbag
from 1.

15. I will hold my
beanbag in my
hand and hop on
one foot onto
number 1.

16. 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.
