Indoor Hopscotch

Use tape to make boxes on the floor.

First three boxes (1,2,3) should be in a straight line

Boxes 4 and 5 will be places beside each other

6 will be by itself

7,8 will be in a straight line

Last box is "home base"

How to play:

Player 1: Attempts to throw object (ball, sock, paper ball) into box 1 without letting it touch the lines or bounce out of the box.
- If player 1 successfully tosses the object into box 1 - Player 1 will attempt to complete the course.
- If player 1 successfully completes the course - Player 1 will toss the object into box 2 - Player 1 skips box 2 and attempts to complete the course again.

Player 2: If player 1 fails to toss the object into the box or fails to hop through the course without foul (touching outside the box or putting two feet down) - Player 2 gets to start their turn

How to win:

First player to make it through all the numbers

Flash Light Tag

Played at Night

The game is a mixture of hide and seek and tag.

The person that is "IT" guards home base armed with a flashlight.

Whoever is "IT" will cover their eyes and count to a number while everyone else hides.

Ready or Not: When the countdown is over the player that is "IT" will use the flashlight to tag players as they try and sneak their way back to home base.

Overall Goal: Make it back to home base before being tagged with the flashlight

Best played in a larger outside area
