GAME TYPE - Dodge games.
WHO'S IT FOR - Group Two or Group Three. There should be at least three players for this game.
WHAT YOU NEED - A soft playground ball and plenty of space to run.
HOW TO PLAY:
- Gather all players in a circle and assign one player to be IT.
- IT throws the ball as high as they can in the air, and all other players take off running.
- IT catches the thrown ball and yells "FREEZE!" The running players must stop exactly where they are and not move.
- IT must then try to hit one of the runners with the ball. IT may take up to three giant steps in their direction, then throw. The runner may not dodge.
- If IT succeeds in hitting a runner, the runner gets a letter. The runner becomes the new IT.
- If IT misses the runner, IT gets a letter. Choose a new IT in any way you like.
- Everytime a runner gets hit, or IT misses, they get a letter. The first time, it's S. The second, P. The third, U. The fourth, D. If a player gets to D, they are out of the game.
Make sure no one is trying to hurt each other with their throws. Also, be very strict about the three step rule.
THIS WORKS ON - Eye-hand coordination (aiming the ball), following directions (three step rule, freeze), competition (trying to get other players out, being a good sport).
