Did you ever play "Ledgies?"

Googling, the only references I can find to the word as a game seem to be from Blogs written by Hamiltonians, and more specifically, East Enders.

I never played Ledgies because I was afraid / too superior to ask how it was played.

I didn't go to elementary school in Hamilton, and I've never heard of this game until now. We played something that involved a long line of kids each trying to jump a ball that had been bounced off the wall. The trick was to figure out where the ball was going to bounce, so you wouldn't actually have to jump but just stand over that spot. The second person was in the worst spot, because they couldn't back up too far without hitting the third person, and couldn't get it on the first bounce like the first person. If you missed, you had to go to the back.

I wasn't great at it - I was an expert hopscotch player though.

I need you to teach me hopscotch. I have no idea how it works.
