Hopscotch...Ella-style

Ella enjoys the cartoon "Max and Ruby." One of the episodes shows Ruby playing hopscotch, so Ella has been requesting that we draw hopscotch squares frequently so she can practice. She's quite skilled, but she plays by her own rules. For instance, she only hops on one foot. No matter what set of squares she's on, she will only hop on her left foot.







Now, this is the important part of her game. When you reach your rock and you bend over to pick it up, you MUST lift your other leg high in the air as you bend over. It's pretty much the most crucial part of her game. If you don't perform the leg lift, she will let you know that you did it "wrong."



The last rule is that when the game is over, you must waste several watering cans full of water to erase the hopscotch squares so that they have to be redrawn the next time.






Game over.
