Hop over the rock and hop with a single foot or both feet to follow the hopscotch pattern all the way to the end. Turn around and come back, stopping on Square 2.
Balancing on one foot, pick up the rock in Square 1 and hop over Square 1 to the start. Continue this pattern with Square 2.
And so on. If you toss your rock and miss the correct square, your turn is over. This game can be played with any number of people, but only one person can go at a time. If it's raining or dark or too cold, you can get indoor hopscotch mats or foam pieces, or just find a pattern on the floor to follow, perhaps using a beanbag instead of a rock.
Number of Players : One at a time. Equipment : Hopscotch grid, rock or beanbag. One of the biggest ways I spent my recess time as a young girl was jumping rope. I got quite good at it for my age, both in speed and in skill. It was fun to jump by myself, but it was even more fun to have a long rope and jump with a couple of friends. That's where jump-rope rhymes come in.
They turn a simple exercise into a fun game, to compete against yourself and others. Then there's double dutch. I was always in awe of the older girls who could do double dutch. The first time I tried it, I got tripped up almost immediately. However, once you understand how to do it, it isn't as hard as it looks. Number of Players : One for single jumping, three with a longer rope or for double dutch.
Equipment : One or two jump-ropes. This game requires three people, or just one or two people with really good chairs. It is easily done inside, assuming a sturdy floor.
This game resembles regular jump rope in that you jump. A lot. But you jump in a pattern. Two people or chairs put their feet inside the rope and stretch them out, standing far enough apart for the third person to jump between them.
The third person, or jumper, faces one of the people holding the rope and jumps in a pattern of left, right, inside, outside and on the ropes. What pattern you use is up to you, but all the players should use the same one. The game is started with the rope around the ankles. Once the jumper does the jump correctly, the rope is moved up to the calves. Then to the knees, then the thighs. Usually it doesn't get any farther than that.
Once you miss, it is someone else's turn. Number of Players : Preferably three, but it can be done with one or two. Equipment : A stretchy-type rope or 5 to 6 meters of rubber bands tied together in a circle. This game can be played on any flat surface, indoors or out. The player scatters the jacks on the playing surface, often by just tossing them out of one hand, as if rolling dice. The ball is then tossed up, is allowed to bounce once, and is caught before the second bounce.
The player tries to scoop up jacks and catch the ball with one hand before the ball's second bounce. The number of jacks to be picked up goes in order. First you pick up one "onesies" , then two "twosies" , then three and so on. There are many variations to the rules of this game including things like "pigs in the pen" and "double bounces.
Number of Players : Any, taking turns. Equipment : A set of jacks and a small rubber ball. The general rules specify that you draw a circle in the sand or on the sidewalk, and then take turns trying to knock each other's marbles out of the circle with your one large marble. As with the other games, there are countless variations. I haven't played this game at length, though, because I always seem to hurt myself flicking the large marble into the ring!
You can also use a marble mat which contains different point zones. Number of Players : At least two. Equipment : Chalk, large and small marbles. With enough room, this game can easily be played inside.
One person is the traffic light at one end, and the other players are at the other end. When the traffic light faces the group, he or she says, "Red light! The traffic light then turns his or her back and says, "Green light! The traffic light turns around quickly, again saying, "Red light!
The first person to tag the traffic light wins and gets to be the next traffic light. This game is set up in the same way as Red Light Green Light. One person in the group asks the person in the front, "Mother, may I take steps forward? Again, the first person to tag the person in the front wins and is the next person in the front. This game can be played anywhere, even in a car or other small space. One person is Simon and starts by saying, "Simon says, '[insert action here]'.
However, if Simon makes an action request without saying, "Simon says" to begin the request, anyone who does that action is out. The team which finishes first is the winning team. More challenging if:. The Hoop Pass Race. Each team starts by holding hands in a circle. A hoop is inserted into the circle between two hands - this is the starting point. On the shout of GO students have to work as a team to pass the hoop around the circle without the chain of hands breaking.
If the chain breaks the hoop goes back to the starting point and no point is scored. Each time the hoop is successful passed around the circle back to the starting point the team scores a point. The team with the most points at the end wins.
Equipment: Hoops. The Ball Roll Race. The race starts with a line of children behind a line or a spot. The team starts the race by creating a team tunnel with their legs. The person at the back of the line starts with a ball. On the shout of GO the student with the ball has to run down the track towards their cone, around it and back to their line. Once they get to the line they must roll the ball through the tunnel to the person at the back and join the front of the tunnel line.
