"Hop-scotch"

Hi,

I need to know if it is correct to say the following:

- The children jump hop-scotch.

- The guests (at a health spa) do (or make ?) punchinellos.

Best wishes,

I'm not Nona, but I will answer your second question. In the US, those are called "jumping jacks."

Thanks a lot, Grammar Geek !
