About MeThis digital photograph shows a hopscotch court marked in a small back garden. The popular children's game can be played with several players or alone. Players throw a small object into the court and then hop or jump through the spaces to retrieve the object.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, staying at home challenged families to stay amused and find fun on their own doorstep. Games played in the garden helped children and adults have fun and stay healthy.
