HOP SCOTCH

TO PLAY, YOU TAKE A STONE AND THROW IT ON THE NUMBERED
SQUARES. YOU HAD TO THROW IT SO THE STONE DID NOT TOUCH
THE DIVIDING LINES OR BOUNCE OUT. IT ALSO HAD TO BE
THROWN IN THE ORDER, 1 TO 12. YOU THEN HAD TO HOP AND
GET YOUR STONE WITHOUT HOPPING ON A SQUARE WITH A
STONE ON IT OR LOSING YOUR BALANCE. IF YOU DID, YOU
LOST YOUR TURN.
