Hopscotch

I saw this on my way to the village and I was so pleased to see this.  At one time things like this were a common sight but sadly a lot of children don't really play out in the streets anymore.  I actually used to call this game Bays rather than Hopscotch.  I guess that is probably a regional thing.

We also used to play Hide and Seek (we used to call that Blocky), skipping, two baller (hitting two balls against a wall while singing various rhymes) and Jacks or Chucks where stones were thrown up in the air ( I can't quite remember how to play that one now).  All very simple games but they provided hours of fun.
