  2. Any number of persons can play this game. They stand a distance from each other in the form of a circle and they throw a ball from one to another. Anyone who drops the ball gets a letter of the word "Donkey" to his name. When a person has the word Donkey he is put out until only one person is left and that person wins the game.
