Scatterball
This game requires a ball -- preferably about the size of a volleyball and soft, and is best played indoors. One girl has the ball. The object of the game is to tag the other girls by hitting them with the ball -- hip height or lower. A girl is "out" if she is hit three times. When a girl has the ball she may not move around, but can only throw the ball. If a girl catches the ball, she is not considered hit, but she is considered hit if she drops the ball. For a more complicated game, use more than one ball! Emphasize that throwing the ball at people's heads is not allowed.
