OTHER GAMES TO TRY:
SCUM
Number the entire group of players from 1 to whatever. Then have them gather at the centre of gym floor. (A large room is okay, but care must be taken to avoid hitting the ceiling.) Have a leader start the game by being "It". He bounces the ball on the floor, having it go up as straight up as possible. Just before it bounces, he yells a boy's number, who must retrieve the ball and shout "Scum!" The rest of the boys run as far as possible away from the ball, but freeze in place once "Scum" is called. With all the boys frozen where they are, the boy with the ball rolls it bowling style at any one boy. If that boy get hit by the ball, or moves to avoid being hit, that receives a letter from the word "SCUM", starting with the "S". If the ball misses all the boys before hitting the wall, no one gets a letter. The boy hit, or closest to the ball, then becomes "It". The game ends when one boy receives all four letters of "SCUM". Play three rounds.
