- 3. StairScotch • Items needed: • Stairway • Recipe or Business Card
- 4. StairScotch Overview • StairScotch is a new sport combining the physical acumen of balance and eye-hand coordination with a three dimensional element alongside the physics of Frisbee toss… • The game is played with a business or recipe card (harder to control than a Frisbee to add to the sport’s challenge) and a set of home stairs.
- 5. StairScotch Directions • Like hopscotch, the game begins with the card being tossed to the first step and an appropriate hop over the step containing the card, ultimately reaching the top of the stairs on one foot. • Stair landings are the only place for two footed rest stops. • On the way back down the stairs, the card is picked up (again on one foot) teaching balance and coordination, and always skipping over the step where the card is in play. • Once the first step is conquered the game continues on in the same fashion until the top step. • Whoever gets their card to the top of the stairway first, picking up their card and returning to the bottom of the stairwell wins… • NB: Each competitor must remember his or her step (as cards of other players must be removed each turn) and each step must be successfully completed before moving on to the next step.
- 6. StairScotch Levels of Play • Beginner: May hold handrail • Intermediate: May only hold hand rail when picking up card • Advanced: No hand rail holding allowed.
- 7. StairScotch • StairScotch may be played as an individual or team sport. • Warm up exercises include arm and shoulder flexibility exercises as well as squats and one foot balancing work on the floor or on a bosu.
