Need an activity to do indoors that will help the kids burn off a little excess energy? An Indoor Hopscotch Game with Painter’s Tape is just the thing you need.
Indoor Hopscotch using Painter’s Tape
When the weather outside is frightful and your kids are less than delightful, lay a roll of painter’s tape on your floor and soon your kids will be having fun indoors.

How about that for a quick little limerick? Well, this project is almost as quick. All you need is a roll of painter’s tape (I used ScotchBlue for delicate surfaces, but you can use any type) and a pair of scissors.
Lay out your hopscotch grid on the floor. (It was easy on our square tile floor because the tile layout acted as a guideline for our course.)
Add numbers inside the squares.
And let the kids loose. Soon they’ll be a hop skippin’ and a jumpin’ that energy away…
…well, maybe not all their energy.
Important note, don’t leave the tape on the floor for weeks on end or you may struggle to get the adhesive up. But, in the meantime, have fun and let’s pray we can all venture out safely soon!
Anyone else have any great ideas to let kids burn off energy indoors? Please, leave me a comment, I need help here.
I did a similar thing for my little boys. I took the painters tape and made a roadway all over the hardwood floor for their little cars. They LOVED it! Of course that tape stayed on the floor for weeks instead of just days!
Hey Brittany, Loved this indoor hopscotch game. And I always like to share some non-stamping, family friendly ideas on the weekend. I loved sending my readers over to learn more about your game!
Thanks! Julie
Playmobile was one of my best investments when we were remodeling! Plus drawing all over the plywood…
So clever! Duct tape is amazing. Just subscribed to your blog. Looking forward to gathering more handy tips! 🙂
