HOPSCOTCH- The Game, The Rules, The Legend...

I was looking outside this morning as the rain came down - it is that time of year with the monsoons coming into Singapore so it is odd that my mind drifted to an outside game of old!

But drift it did to one of the all time favorites of this little girl's childhood when my sister and I would draw that infamous square pattern with a piece of chalk on the ground and skip our way through literally hours of fun.

I so hope these types of games still create fun for children all over the world with the invention of so much stimulating toys, games, TV etc... 

Below is a cute video to remind us all how it is played - perhaps in the northern hemisphere it is still warm enough to play outside and in the southern nothing wrong with rugging up and doing some exercise to warm those bones.

So get your children hopping today!

Happy Play Times :-)
