Red balls are kinder and gentler than basketballs and easier to throw than footballs -- making them the perfect choice for young children.

What You Need

• Red playground ball

• Two players

Instructions

1. Contestants in this game take turns tossing a ball against a cement wall and catching it before it hits the ground.

2. What's the hitch? Before making a catch, a player must complete a task proposed by the challenger. For example, the first child might pitch the ball at the wall and clap his hands together before making the catch. The second player then tries to accomplish the same feat.

3. If successful, he gets to pose the next challenge -- perhaps tapping his shoulders or spinning around before catching the ball.

4. If he fails, the first player earns 1 point and gets to pose a second challenge.

5. The first player to score 5 points wins the game.
