Why is it illegal to play hopscotch on Sunday in Missouri?

Why is it illegal to play hopscotch on Sunday in Missouri? I recently came across this unusual law and am curious about its historical context and the rationale behind it. Could someone provide more details or point me to relevant resources? Thanks in advance!

Not Legal Advice: It remains unclear why it is forbidden, perhaps because it involves the word "scotch," or because it is a form of a Sunday law, encouraging rest on the Christian Sabbath.

Seasoned travelers are accustomed to experiencing a certain level of culture shock when they arrive at a new destination.

They might encounter unfamiliar traffic patterns, strange food, and cultural customs that baffle them at first. However, many of these customs make sense once one understands the history and values of a region.

The same can be said for many of a country’s laws. They might seem ridiculous at first, but there are some with specific intentions behind them.
