Forget Nintendo Wii! Return to a simpler and less expensive era as you teach your kiddies how to play hopscotch. If you’re feeling a bit rusty when it comes to this playground pastime, brush up on your hopscotch skills at the YouTube and Wikihow Web sites below. The video is especially helpful in showing what pattern you need to follow when it comes to hopping, skipping and jumping as you toss a stone or hacky sack on Square One and subsequently navigate your way across your hopscotch table. Be sure to invite your friends and neighbors to play either in the park or your backyard, and you’ll soon discover that this old-fashioned game is a cool way to keep the entire nabe entertained and simultaneously teach your little guys and gals about numbers. Happy hopping!
