La Thunkuna

This version of hopscotch in Bolivia is the "Old World" version. Today children play the game the same way only they number the squares rather than naming them.

Number of Players  2 or more players Equipment a puck - can be a stone but an orange peel can also make an effective puck chalk - to draw the hopscotch mat How to Play Throw the puck into the first box (Lunes - Monday) and hop over this box into the second box (Martes - Tuesday). Kick the puck out the first box (Lunes) and back behind the starting point. After you kick the puck out you hop back out of the pattern. Players may decide whether to use their hopping foot to kick out the puck or whether they can stand on their hopping foot and use their other foot to kick the puck out of the box. Throw the puck into the box martes (Tuesday). Jump in box lunes (Monday), then in boxmiercoles (Wednesday). Kick the puck out of the pattern, then hop out of the entire pattern. Repeat the same pattern for miercoles (Wednesday), and then for jueves (Thursday). When you throw the puck into jueves (Thursday), hop in box miercoles (Wednesday), and then jump into box viernes (Friday), and sabado (Saturday), with one foot in each box. Then jump on one foot into box domingo (Sunday), and kick the puck back behind the main baseline. Don't throw the puck in boxes viernes (Friday), or sabado (Saturday). Continue throwing the puck into box domingo (Sunday). Always hop over the space where the puck lands. If the puck lands into the wrong space on any toss or kick, you lose your turn.
