Jamaican game- Chinese Skip

Chinese Skip
It is funny how this game is named Chinese skip and is actually a game that I learned in Jamaica. I guess this has to do with the fact that there is a rich Chinese heritage in Jamaica.

You need a lot of Elastic bands to play this game.

Not to mention the time you need to string these elastic bands together.

Jamaican game - hop scotch

Just today I was talking to a youngster and the little one reminded me of games that I have long forgotten. I never played but always loved watching the little girls play. They are the games of  Hop Scotch and Chinese Skip. I will only mention Hopscotch in this post.

Hop Scotch - play

As seen in the video there are several ways in which this can be drawn, but the rules are relatively the same.
