Rules

This game is also known as Kingy, Ball tig or Dead ball.

First, divide into two teams.

Agree on and mark out the edges of the area in which you are going to play and mark a line down the middle. One team stands on one side of the line, the other team on the other side.

One person on one team starts with the ball and must try and throw the ball to hit a player in the other team.

After the ball is thrown, the person who gets it carries on the game by throwing and trying to hit another player.

  • If a player is hit by the ball they are out.
  • If a player catches the ball the thrower is out.
  • If a player steps over the middle line into the other teams half or over the boundaries they are out.
  • If the ball bounces before hitting someone or being caught no one is out.
  • You mustn’t throw the ball at a player’s head or throw it too hard.
