Keep Away Game

3 or more players
Ages: 8 and up
Need beach ball

Adult supervision is needed for this game.

The game is played in shallow water so younger kids can play as long as an adult is close by.

This game is fun at the beach as well. Always supervise the players and keep them in the shallow part of the ocean if you're at the beach or lake.

Give one player the beach ball. He stands in the middle of the pool (waist deep water) while the other players scatter around him in the shallow end.

Another player is "it". At the shout of "go" players begin throwing the beach ball back and forth to each other, keeping the ball away from it.

The person who catches the ball needs to watch out for "it" so he's not tagged. "It" is allowed to try and tag players who have the ball.
No rough playing allowed! The ball cannot be taken from a player who has caught it.

The only time the ball is fair play is when the ball is in the air.
A player who is tagged by "it" or who doesn't catch a ball which "it" intercepts is out for that round.

The first player that this happens to is "it" in the next round.

The kids can play as many rounds as they like.
