Horse Game

2 or more players
Ages 9 and up
Need: basketball

Begin with choosing who shoots first, second, third, etc.

The first player tries to shoot a basket from wherever he chooses. Any type of throw is acceptable.

If he makes a basket, the next player goes. This player has to make the same shot from the same place as the first player.

If this player or any following players miss the shot, they get the letter H.

If players make the basket, they do not get a letter.

After each player takes a turn, player # 1 shoots again from a different spot.

All the players then follow his lead, shooting from the same place.

If players miss, they get another letter (the letters are "H" "O" "R" "S" "E").

If player # 1 misses a shot, player # 2 then becomes the leader and shoots from wherever she wants. Subsequent players must shoot from where she did.

If player # 2 doesn't make the shot, player # 3 becomes the leader.

Play continues until either only one player is left standing or until one player gets all the HORSE letters.

You can play as many rounds as you want once one player has won depending on the number of players there are.

This is a very fun game for kids. Sometimes you make all the shots and sometimes you don't!
