Colleen Evans with students from Carver Elementary demonstrate this activity, which allows students to create hopscotch patterns.

This part of the lesson makes connections to hop scotch in different countries and cultures. It is recommended that parts 1 and 2 are done on different days. Note that the only visible group is the students who had the permission forms completed, another 20 students are participating off camera.

Grade Level: 3-8

Requires: Poly spots and squares (8-10 per group)
