Astride
Astride is one of the fun kids outside games, perfect for blacktop games and playground games.
6 or more players Ages 4 and up Need: kick ball or soccer ball Begin with all kids, except one player, standing in a circle, arm's length apart. Players stand with their hands on their knees and legs apart. The player not standing in a circle stands inside the circle with a ball. He starts the game by rolling the ball, at any speed he chooses, along the ground. The ball needs to stay on the ground. His goal is to try and roll the ball through another player's legs. The players in a circle can use their hands to stop the ball or may close their legs to stop the ball from going through. The players must stand with their legs apart and hands on their knees until they see the ball coming their way. Then they may try and stop it. After that, they go back to standing with legs apart. If the player with the ball rolls it between a player's legs, he takes that player's spot in the circle, and the other player becomes the new roller.
