Hopscotch to Victory is a participatory arts project involving people of all ages from across Essex and the Eastern region as Live Art Collective East (LACE) enlists hundreds of participants in an attempt to set the World Record for the most people playing hopscotch at the same time.

Alongside the world record attempt, LACE have created an educational pack for primary schools focusing on the origins of hopscotch and its uses as an artistic and sporting activity that encourages creativity, physical activity and learning. The pack is available from LACE as a downloadable resource for teachers and community group leaders. It is accompanied by a short film that takes a humorous view on the possible origins of hopscotch, also available to view via the LACE website.

LACE are enlisting hundreds of participants of all ages in an attempt to set the world record for the most people playing hopscotch in the same place, at the same time in Summer 2012.  The world record attempt will be held in Colchester as part of Essex County Council’s major cultural celebration, Sparks will Fly, which is part of the London 2012 Festival.
