Snatch It

A fun action-packed game that tests kids coordination and stamina as they race around.

8 or more players
Ages 6 and up
Need: small ball, chalk or sticks for making lines

Begin by dividing the kids up into 2 teams with an equal number of players.

Make two lines about 20 feet apart. Put the ball in the middle of the two lines.

If the two teams have an odd player out, he can act as the leader. If not, an adult can.

Each team's players line up beside each other, facing the other team.

Then each player on each team counts to receive a number - starting with one and going on down the line. Each team will have a player with the same number.

The leader shouts out a number and the 2 players on the team with that number race to the center and try to grab the ball.

Whoever grabs it tries to run back to her team without being tagged by the other player.

If the person with the ball makes it back to her team, they get one point. If she's tagged, they get no points.

The winning team is the team who reaches 21 points.

If a child is acting as the leader, have him become a player in the next round. Choose a player to become the new leader.
