hopscotch
Chalk court game
Hopscotch is a children's game played by tossing a small object onto numbered squares drawn on the ground, then hopping through the pattern on one foot, skipping the square where the object landed.
The game requires balance and has countless regional variations.
To hopscotch can mean to move in irregular jumps or skip around: We hopscotched through Europe that summer.
