LUISA: You're too good!

LUCA: So are you! Shall we play again?

LUISA: Nah, let's play something else. Do you know what hopscotch is?

LUCA: No, no idea!

LUISA: Great! So, today we're going to learn how to play hopscotch!

LUISA AND LUCA: Let's do it!

LUCA: So, what do we need to play hopscotch?

LUISA: We only need three things: a place to play, chalk and a stone.

Before we start, we have to draw ten squares.

Each square must be big enough for your foot.

You start like this. One …

LUCA: Two …

LUISA: Great! Now we need to write the numbers in each square, from one to ten.

LUCA: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!

LUISA: OK! Now we can play!

LUCA: But what do I do with the stone?

LUISA: You throw the stone onto square number one, then you hop or jump onto all the squares,

except on the square with the stone. Easy, right?

LUCA: OK!

LUISA: Great!

Then turn around, go back and pick up the stone.

LUCA: There you go, it's your turn!

Wait a minute. Who wins?

LUISA: Well, after you do number one, then two, then three …

the winner is the person who gets to number ten first!

LUCA: Oh! So I'm gonna win!

LUISA: We'll see!

LUCA: Huh, I didn't know I could lose a turn so easily.

LUISA: Yes, you miss a turn if you step on the line

or you throw the stone outside the right square.

LUCA: OK. But it's a draw, isn't it?

LUISA: Mmm … yes, well played!

We hope you have fun playing hopscotch!

LUISA AND LUCA: Bye bye!

LUISA: Remember! To play hopscotch: Draw ten squares.

Write the numbers one to ten. Throw the stone onto square number one.

Hop and jump. Play again with the other numbers.

That's it! Now you can play hopscotch.
