Vladimir Nabokovの "Lolita" を読んでいます。
“Rope-skipping, hopscotch. That old woman in black who sat down next to me on my bench, on my rack of joy (a nymphet was groping under me for a lost marble), and asked if I had stomachache, the insolent hag. Ah, leave me alone in my pubescent park, in my mossy garden. Let them play around me forever. Never grow up.”

・Cambridge English Dictionary: a game played by children, who throw a stone onto a set of joined squares drawn on the ground and jump on one leg and then on two legs into each square to get the stone：The girls marked out the hopscotch squares in the dust.
・Vocabulary.com: Hopscotch is a game in which players hop on one foot between numbered squares on the ground. Playgrounds and driveways are common places to see hopscotch being played.
To set up a game of hopscotch, you need a grid of numbered boxes, often drawn on the sidewalk with chalk. Each player takes turns tossing a small rock or other object into one of the boxes, hopping on one foot, picking up the rock, and hopping back. The object is for the rock to land inside each box without touching a line, and for the hopper to also avoid landing on a line or losing balance.
昔の事なので記憶が定かではありませんが、日本でも同様な遊びがあった気がします。 最近日本では道路上で遊ぶ子供を見ないので（特に都会では）今では子供がその様な遊びをしないのではと思います。 最近はゲーム機で遊んでいる子供しか見かけません。
