COPY:

Hey, I’m Andrea and we play in Meca Park in Houston, Texas. We’ve got lots of VERBs here, some games we even make up. Here’s one we call “Hip Hop Scotch.” It’s old school meets new school. You draw boxes. But instead of numbers, you write in dance moves. Like Spin, Bounce, Step, or Shake… You throw your rock. Whatever dance it lands on, that’s your thing! If it lands on a question mark, do anything! That’s “Hip Hop Scotch” in Houston.

COPY:

Hey, I’m Kyle and we play in Virrick park in Miami, Florida. We’ve got lots of VERBs here, some games we even make up. Here’s one we call “Marco Water Polo.” All you need is a pool and a ball. Whoever’s “it” has the ball and yells “Marco” with their eyes closed. Everyone else yells “Polo!” Throw the ball in the direction of someone you hear. If they catch it, you go again. If they drop the ball, they do a cannon ball! Now that’s “Marco Water Polo” in Miami, Florida.

Copy: Hey, I’m Marshall and we play in Lafayette Park in Los Angeles, California. We’ve got lots of VERBs here, some games we even make up. Here’s one we call “KB Ball.” It’s Kickball, on a basketball court. After a kick, the fielder has to shoot the ball through any basket. If the ball goes in and you are not on base, you’re out. If it misses, keep on running. That’s “KB-Ball” in Los Angeles.
