I played roly poly on the sidewalk. Never played hop scotch. Of course we played football, baseball, and basketball also. We played stoop ball where you throw a rubber ball against porch stairs and try to hit the point of the stairs. Another game we played was stick ball where a rectangle was drawn on the school building wall and you would bat using a broom handle and the pitcher would throw a ball and try to hit the rectangle for a strike. When we played we pretended to be a major league team and had to bat either right or left depending on the major league lineup.
