West riding of Yorkshire - Barnsley to be precise, to play - out of the house, was - is - layking.

The boys would go around the playground chanting 'Who's layking at aleee-vi-oh'

There were various versions of hopscotch. the one with a single square and then two side by side, where you hopped or straddled up and back down, not stepping into the square where the pick had been thrown. When in the square before the pick you hat to retrieve it without touching the ground and then continue, still not landing in the square. The pick had to be thrown into each square in numerical order.

In the other the numbers were drawn in two columns of three squares 123 in the left column and 654 in the rignt one. The stone or tin had to be flicked around the squares with the toe of the foot being hopped on, not going out of the squares and not skidding right across one.
