BEAN BAG AND OAT SACK GAMES
_5 to 60 players._
_Playground; gymnasium; class room._
_Bean bags; balls._
This game may be played with either bean bags or balls, and is one of
the simplest and earliest tossing games, being generally used when
pupils are first acquiring skill in handling a ball. With very rapid
play and greater distance between the "teacher" and the "class," it
may become very interesting, however, for older players.
One player is chosen for the "teacher." The others stand in a line
side by side, facing her, at an interval of from five to twenty feet.
Where there are many players, there should be several groups of this
kind, with a distinct interval between groups to avoid mistakes or
confusion. It is desirable to have from six to ten players for each
"teacher."
The teacher starts the game by tossing the ball to each pupil in turn,
and it is immediately tossed back to her. Each pupil missing goes to
the foot of the line. If the teacher misses, the player at the head of
the line takes her place, the teacher going to the foot. The action
should be as rapid as possible.
