Circle Ball_10 to 60 or more players._
_Playground; gymnasium; schoolroom._
_Hand ball; basket ball; bean bag._
The players stand in a circle with from three to five feet between
each two. The game consists of merely tossing the ball rapidly from
one player to another, but not in regular order. The sport comes from
the unexpectedness with which the ball may be thrown across the ring,
or reverse the direction in which it is circling the ring, or in any
other way taking the players unaware. A leader or teacher should see
that this element of sport is put into the game, or else it may be
very dull and useless.
Any player failing to catch the ball should sit down, the player
winning who remains standing the longest.
When all are seated, the same game may be played in a sitting
position.
For a more advanced form of this game, see Round Ball.
For very little children, the spaces between players should be less
and the tossing done in regular order from one player to the next,
working up gradually to the more varied modes of play suggested
above. Several balls or bags may be used, following each other in
quick succession. The number of these may be increased until there is
but one (or two) balls or bean bags less than the number of players.
