How to play
Before you start: Tape a hopscotch grid down the hallway: single, single, double, single, double, single. Write a number in each square.
Hop it once yourself: one foot on singles, two feet on doubles.
Let them try. Two feet everywhere is fine to start.
Throw a soft toy onto a square and hop over that one.
Pick it up on the way back without putting a foot down.
Count each square out loud as you land on it.
What it helps with
Keep it safe
- Barefoot or grippy socks only on hard floors.
Make it different next time
- Call out a number and they jump straight to it.
- Hop it backward.
Cleanup: Peel the tape up and roll it into a ball. Some kids like this part best.
