Skipping stones is a fun outdoor activity where a flat stone is thrown across the surface of a body of water, causing it to bounce or "skip" multiple times. The goal is to achieve as many skips as possible before the stone sinks. This activity is often enjoyed at lakes, rivers, or ponds, where calm water provides the best conditions for skipping. To successfully skip a stone, it is important to choose a suitable stone, typically flat and smooth, and to throw it at a low angle with a flicking motion of the wrist. The technique can be practiced and improved over time, making it a popular pastime for people of all ages, especially during warm weather.
