I never played it myself but I certainly remember it being played during breaks at school. As others say, you are very good at tugging memories :)

How I loved to hopscotch. Why’d I stop??? Sipping many flowers – yes, the best way to go through life.

Such a fun post, picture and quote. The funny part is how this says those creatures “may” actually come up with something. 😀
