Octopus better watch out … and preferably move back. She has to turn around on 10 and start back toward 1.
BTW, can someone please explain why the spaces in this game were numbered from 1 to 10, instead of the much more proper 0 through 9? We have known and understood the concept and importance of ‘zero’ since the ancient Egyptians. Why do we teach kids to ignore it in counting games?

BTW, I once saw a group of kids drawing a sidewalk hopscotch pattern that ran from 1 to 100. 8^O

I’ve been wondering why Mimi doesn’t get to meet up with other kids. She’s got plenty of pretend friends but the two families don’t even meet up much.
