Red Ball Game: Bull's-Eye Bounce

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

What You Need
  • Red playground ball
  • Chalk
  • Two players
Instructions
  1. Draw a 5-foot-wide chalk circle on the ground about 10 feet from a cement wall.

  2. Draw a 2-foot-wide inner circle in the center.

  3. Players take turns tossing a rubber ball at the wall and letting it bounce on the ground once before catching it.

  4. If the ball lands on the center circle before a player catches it, he earns 10 points; if it bounces in the outer ring, he earns 5 points.

  5. The first child whose score totals 50 points is the winner.
