Hopscotch is a popular children's game played on a rectangular court drawn on the ground. Players take turns tossing a small object, like a stone or a coin, onto numbered squares and then hopping on one foot or two to retrieve it. The game can be played alone or with multiple players, and it helps develop balance and coordination. The court typically consists of numbered squares arranged in a specific pattern, often resembling a ladder or a series of connected boxes. Players must follow the rules, which include not stepping on the lines and completing the course in a specific order. Hopscotch is enjoyed worldwide and has various regional variations.
