Game that's bound to stop? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hopscotch

'game' is the definition.
(I know that hopscotch is a type of child\\u0027s game)

'bound to stop?' is the wordplay.
'bound' becomes 'hop' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to stop?' becomes 'scotch' (I've seen this before).
'hop'+'scotch'='HOPSCOTCH'

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for hopscotch that I've seen before include "kids jump about in it" , "Children's game with squares on ground" , "Traditional children's game" , "child's play" , "Jumping game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
