The History of Hop Scotch

The game hopscotch was invented in Ancient Britain during the early Roman Empire. Roman soldiers would wear their full armor while training on hopscotch courses over 100 ft long. They did this to improve their footwork, much like football players do today when they hop in and out of tires during practice drills. Eventually, children turned this drill into a game and it continues to be played on playgrounds and sidewalks today.
