Review grab (yes) vs. scoop (no). With a central bucket, scatter at least two socks per child
around the playing floor. Upon go- shoeless players begin from any point in a circle about 5m
away from the central bucket and hop on one leg to grab socks with the non-hopping foot to
retrieve and deliver socks to the bucket by using only one-legged hops. Legs and feet (hopping
or grabbing) may be switched only at the bucket.
Alternately, play can also be arranged as team races, to separate buckets using one
sock per team.
