Hopping Around the World

　　Hopscotch(跳房子)is a very old game．It usually uses a puck, such as a stone, and a pattern(picture)that players hop(跳跃)through．Here are some different ways to play hopscotch．

　　Escargot

　　Escargot is the French word for “snail．” So its pattern looks like a snail．No puck is used．Players hop through on one foot．You may rest in the center on both feet．Then, hop back and write your name in a space．No other player may land in that space．At the end, the player who owns the most spaces wins．

　　Pele

　　Children play Pele on the island of Aruba with a stone or coin．Throw the puck into the first box and hop into Box 2．Then, hop up to the top and turn around．Come back to Box 2 and pick up the puck．Hop over Box 1 and out of the pattern．Next, throw the puck into Box 2 and start again．If you make a mistake, you lose your turn．The first player to hop through the pattern wins．

　　Gat Fei Gei

　　In this Chinese way, the puck is a piece of stone．At the top is the pig's head．Throw the puck into the pig's head and hop through．When you reach boxes 7 and 8, turn around and pick up the puck from behind．If you hop through the pattern without making a mistake, pick a box and write your name in it．No one else can land in that box! The player who owns the most boxes wins．

　　La Thunkuna

　　Children play this game in Bolivia．The puck is a stone or the skin from an orange．Instead of writing a number in each square, players write each day of the week．Throw the puck into the first box．Hop over it into the second box．Next, kick the puck backwards and out of the pattern．Then, hop out．On your next turn, throw the puck into the next box and so on．The first player to hop all the way through wins．

　　LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - Can a star basketball player also be a star hip - hop singer? If you ask Shaquille O'Neal and some of his NBA fellows, they'll say “Sure”.

　　In the NBA, hip - hop music is as common as the jump shot. Hip - hop is similar to rap (说唱) music and is especially popular with young African Americans. This music is played before basketball games during halftime. Many of the players, like Shaquille O'Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers, write rap rhymes when they travel on airplanes from one city to another.

They try to trouble the players on the other team by looking tough (凶). “Hip-hop is just part of many players' culture,” says Kerry Kittles on the New Jersey Nets team. “All of us grew up listening to rap and Playing basketball, and the rappers grew up doing the same thing. A lot of players want to be rappers, and a lot of rappers would like to be players.”

　　Master P is a famous rap star who wants to be a basketball player. The Charlotte Hornets and the Toronto Raptors have invited him to their training camps. They enjoy listening to his music, but many people think that he is not good enough at basketball to be on an NBA team.
