Hopscotch 跳房子

Let's Play Hopscotch 來玩跳房子

I saw the original picture at Pastor Julio Fonseca's IDA Gospel Blog. I just added "Hopscotch and 跳房子" to it.
It reminded me that I played this game when I was in elementary school, the fun (at that time no concret driveway or asphalt parking lot, mostly played on flat dirt ground), and about those playmates. My grandchildren will be able to play this game soon.
To refresh my memory, I researched online and found that children verywhere around the world play this game. There are variations about the drawings and rules.

在馮牧師的愛力也福音博格看到這張照片。我在原圖上加「Hopscotch 和跳房子」等字。
它讓我憶起國小時玩過這個遊戲的樂趣(當時尚無水泥地或柏油走道, 大都是在土面上畫圖來玩),也想起那些小玩伴。我的孫兒女快到會玩跳房子的年齡了。
網上看到世界各地的小孩都在玩這個遊戲。祇是地上所畫的圖和玩法規則略有變化而已。

Rain, rain. Rain outside, rain inside our house. Boss Joe and helper Bill of The Grover's Roofing came to repair our roof. They did a good job, I will recommend to anyone who asks.

雨, 雨。外面落雨, 厝內漏水。今天叫格落波屋頂裝修公司來修理。喬老板和畢助手來修補十多年前他們舖蓋的屋頂。作得很不錯, 如果有人問起, 我會推薦他們。
