- Mark eight squares on the ground. Get a ball and roll it into the first square, then take it up and bounce it once, in each bed. When you come to the last bed, roll the ball into the second bed, and bounce it twice in each square.
When you have gone round to the eight bed you turn your back and throw the ball over your head.
Whatever square the ball rolls into you mark your initials in it. Whoever gets the most squares wins. Any number of players may play this game.
