RAIN ON THE ROOF

THIS GAME IS PLAYED WITH A BALL. EACH PERSON IS
GIVEN A NUMBER. THE FIRST PERSON THROWS THE BALL
UP TO THE ROOF OF A HOUSE AND CALLS OUT A NUMBER.
THE PERSON WITH THAT NUMBER MUST THEN HIT THE BALL
BACK UP ONTO THE ROOF AND CALL OUT ANOTHER PERSON'S
NUMBER. THIS KEEPS ON GOING UNTIL SOMEONE MISSES,
THEN THEY START ALL OVER AGAIN.
