BALL GAME

THIS GAME IS PLAYED WITH A LARGE AIR-FILLED BALL
(LIKE A BEACH BALL).
ONE PERSON IS CHOSEN TO BE IT. HE THROWS THE BALL UP IN THE AIR
WHILE THE OTHERS RUN. WHEN HE CATCHES THE BALL ALL THE OTHERS MUST
FREEZE. HE CAN THEN TAKE FIVE STEPS IN ANY DIRECTION, AND THROW
THE BALL AT ANY OF THE OTHERS. IF HE HITS THE PERSON HE CAN TAKE
FIVE MORE STEPS AND TRY FOR ANOTHER. IF HE HITS ALL OF THE OTHER
PLAYERS THEN THE FIRST ONE HIT BECOMES IT. IF NOT, HE MUST TRY THE
WHOLE THING AGAIN.
