A step-by-step guide to play the game
1
The players form a line in front of the hopscotch.
2
The first player throws a pebble, aiming at the number he wants to reach.
3
The player must reach the pebble by hopscotching past all previous squares/numbers. He cannot step on any lines while hopscotching.
4
When the player reaches the square with the pebble, he bends down, grabs the pebble and answers a question on emotions corresponding to the number where he finished (see additional game information). The player can always choose not to answer the question.
5
When the player has finished, he turns around hopping and reaches the starting point. Again, he must avoid stepping on a line.
6
The first player goes to the end of the line and the next player continues.
7
The game ends when the group manages to answer all questions.
Extra game information
If the pebble does not land in a square or if the player steps on a line, he loses his turn and goes back to the end of the line.
