BEAN BAG AND OAT SACK GAMES
_10 to 60 players._
_Schoolroom._
_Bean bags; gas ball._
The class stands in a circle around the room, each half constituting a
team with a leader at one end. On a desk in the center of the room is
placed a waste-paper basket. The game consists in throwing a bean bag
or a ball (large, light gas ball preferable) into the basket, the
teams alternating their turns. There is no interference, but an umpire
stands in the center who returns the ball to the next player after
each throw. The leaders throw first and each player in turn
thereafter. Each time the ball lodges in the basket it scores one for
the team throwing. A bean bag lodged on the edge of the basket scores
as a goal. A player may throw but once at each turn. The game may be
limited by time, the team winning which has the highest score at the
end of ten or fifteen minutes; or it may end when each player has had
a turn. The former method leads to quicker and more expert play, which
should be encouraged.
