Get ready

  1. Have the kids make a large circle.
  2. Mark a smaller circle or square in the middle and put one group of kids inside it.

How to play

  1. Kids in the outer circle throw the balls at the kids in the middle.
  2. A child who gets hit leaves the middle.
  3. Hits to the head don't count.
  4. When everyone in the middle is out (or after a set time), send in a new group.

Tips & variations

  • Use foam balls or beach balls only.
  • Rotate groups often so everyone gets a turn in the middle.
