From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-- In double-page spreads, 19 forms of hopscotch are clearly explained, first with a general description and then with step-by-step directions. Milone's watercolor illustrations show a small diagram of the game pattern and children playing in various countries. A world map identifying each of the locations and an introduction add to the attraction. Enjoyable and informative, the book has varied and creative uses, both for the games themselves and the multicultural studies into which they can be integrated. A unique and welcome addition to most collections. --Janie Schomberg, Leal Elementary School, Urbana, IL

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great recess resource!,
By Cindy (Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hopscotch Around the World (Paperback)
I've used this book as a recess activity. I made a spinning wheel with all the variations of hopscotch that are listed in the book. The students spin the wheel, draw the game they land on and play. Great activity! Gets all the students involved! I'm amazed at the HUGE variety of hopscotch games. What a lot of fun!
