_10 to 60 players._

_Schoolroom._

_Gas ball; bean bags._

This game may be played with balls or bean bags. If with balls, a
light gas ball is preferable, as for all schoolroom games. From one to
three balls or bags will be needed for the game. If the class is a
large one, only half the pupils should play at a time; if a small
class, all may play at once. The players stand in the aisles or
between the seats and desks, and should be scattered around the
schoolroom.

The teacher puts the balls in play by tossing them one at a time
upward, so they will land in different directions in the room. The
players, as opportunity avails, without leaving their places on the
floor, try to catch a ball and toss it in the same way to some other
player. It is not permissible to throw the ball at another player; it
must always be tossed in the air. Any player who does not catch the
ball, but instead is touched by it, is "dead" (out of the game), and
must sit down. Each player tosses the ball upward in some new
direction as soon as he receives it. This play continues until only
one player remains standing, who is considered the winner.
