RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT
THIS GAME IS PLAYED WITH AN "IT." THE "IT" TURNS HIS
BACK ON THE OTHER PLAYERS AND SAYS: "YELLOW, BLUE,
BROWN, RED LIGHT." WHEN HE SAYS "RED LIGHT," HE
TURNS AROUND TO FACE THE PLAYERS. ALL THE TIME THAT
HE HAD BEEN NAMING COLORS, (THE CHOICE AND NUMBER OF
COLORS NAMED BEING ARBITRARY) THE REST OF THE PLAYERS
HAD BEEN SNEAKING UP ON HIM FROM SOME STARTING POINT.
AT "RED LIGHT," THEY MUST FREEZE IN THEIR POSITIONS,
BECAUSE IF "IT" TURNS AROUND AND SEES THEM MOVING,
THEY MUST GO BACK TO THE START. WHEN THE "IT" IS
SATISFIED THAT NO ONE IS MOVING WHILE FACING HIM,
HE TURNS AROUND AND BEGINS NAMING COLORS AGAIN WHILE
THE OTHERS ADVANCE AGAIN. THE GAME ENDS WHEN ONE OF
THE PLAYERS TOUCHES THE "IT."

MOTHER, MAY I?
THIS IS A GAME WHERE THE OBJECT IS TO REACH THE PERSON
WHO IS "IT," BY TAKING DIFFERENT SIZE STEPS. THE
FIRST PERSON CALLS OUT TO THE "IT" "MOTHER, MAY I TAKE
FOUR GIANT STEPS?" HERE, THE NUMBER OF STEPS IS
ARBITRARY AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF STEPS.
THERE IS THE GIANT STEP--THE PERSON TAKES HIS LONGEST
STRIDE; THE BABY STEP--THE PERSON TAKES ONE FOOT AND
PLACES HIS HEEL OF ONE FOOT TO THE TOE OF THE OTHER;
THE BANANA PEEL--THE PERSON KEEPS ONE FOOT STATIONARY
AND PIVOTS AS FAR AS HE IS ABLE WITH THE OTHER; THE
RABBIT HOP--THE PERSON HOPS WITH BOTH FEET TOGETHER;
THE UMBRELLA TURN--STEPPING OUT WITH ONE FOOT WITH ARMS
OUTSTRETCHED AND THEN TURNING AROUND BY MOVING THE
OTHER FOOT IN THE DIRECTION OF THE "IT."
ALTHOUGH THE PERSON MAY ASK FOR SO MANY STEPS, THE
FINAL DECISION IS UP TO THE "IT." IF HE APPROVES, YOU
EXECUTE THE NUMBER OF STEPS AND THE TYPE OF STEP
AGREED UPON. IF HE DOES NOT, HE TELLS YOU HOW MANY
STEPS TO TAKE OF ONE KIND. IF YOU FORGET TO BEGIN EACH
REQUEST WITH "MOTHER, MAY I," YOU RETURN TO THE
STARTING POINT AND BEGIN AGAIN.

HOP SCOTCH
TO PLAY THE GAME ON EITHER OF THE TWO DIAGRAMS, YOU
NEEDED A STONE. THE PLAYER TAKES THE STONE AND
THROWS IT ON THE ONE MARKED "1" AND HOPS ON IT AND
THEN BACK. HE THEN THROWS IT ON 2, HOPS TO IT BY
MEANS OF ALL THE SQUARES WITH LESS NUMERICAL VALUE
THAN THE ONE HIS STONE IS ON AND HOPS BACK. HE
KEEPS GOING UNTIL HE JUMPS OUTSIDE THE LINE OR
THROWS HIS MARKER IN THE WRONG SQUARE. THEN IT IS
THE NEXT PLAYER'S TURN.

HOP SCOTCH
THE WAY THE GAME IS PLAYED ON THE DIAGRAM BELOW IS AS
FOLLOWS: A STONE IS THROWN (OR A PIECE OF TAR) ONTO
ONE OF THE SQUARES. IF IT BOUNCES OUTSIDE THE LINES,
YOU MUST WAIT FOR ANOTHER TURN BEFORE YOU TRY AGAIN.
THE STONE OR TAR MUST BE THROWN ON ALL OF THE NUMBERS
IN SEQUENCE, I.E., 1, 2, 3, ETC. THEN THE PERSON MUST
GET TO HIS STONE BY HOPPING. ONE FOOT IS HOPPED ON IN
THE 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, AND 12TH SQUARES AND THE OTHERS
MUST BE HOPPED ON SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE LEFT AND RIGHT
FEET. SO, THE WAY TO GET TO THE 7TH SQUARE, FOR
EXAMPLE WOULD BE: 1 (RIGHT), 2-3 (RIGHT AND LEFT) 4
(RIGHT), 5 (RIGHT), 6-7 (RIGHT AND LEFT). YOU THEN
PICK UP YOUR MARKER AND REVERSE THE PROCESS.
THE GAME ENDS WHEN YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY GONE TO 12
AND BACK.

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.
