Ball Between the Feet

Many thanks to Sandra O'Keefe who posted this game to the Guide Mailing List!

Category: Indoor / Outdoor
Equipment: 1 tennis ball per team 2 chairs (or some other marker) per team
Number of Players: Any number but even teams

To Play: Each team lines up behind a chair. The other chair is placed some distance away. On a given signal the first member of each team takes the ball and places it between her feet. She jumps, with the ball between her feet, from the first chair, around the far chair and back to her team. Then the next person on the team does the same. BUT if the ball is dropped / lost between the first chair and the second chair the girl must return to the first chair and start again. If the ball is dropped between the second chair and the first chair i.e. on the way back, the girl must return to the second chair. The winning team is the first to finish.

VARIATIONS: The same rules can be applied to the following games:
