SICK, DYING, DEAD

This is a game of catch for two people, and for some of the time you have to catch the ball with one hand. It's usually played with a small ball.

1. You and your partner stand facing each other, with 3-4 metres of space between, and take turns to throw the ball to each other. You have to try to catch it without letting it touch the ground.

2. Each time you miss the ball, you have to stand in one of the positions listed below. Start at the first one, 'Headache', and move down the list each time you miss the ball.

3. Each time you catch the ball, you can move back up the list to the one before.

4. See how long you can keep the game going.

These are the positions:

HEADACHE: Keep one hand on your head while you throw and catch the ball with the other one.

TUMMYACHE: Keep one hand on your tummy while you throw and catch the ball with the other one.

SICK: Kneel on one knee and catch the ball with two hands.

DYING: Kneel on both knees and catch the ball with two hands.

DEAD: Lie on the ground, because you're out of the game.

RULES FOR SICK, DYING, DEAD:

1. You must catch the ball without letting it touch the ground.

2. Throws must be fair, to give each person a good chance to catch the ball.

3. In 'Headache' you have to put your hand on your head before you throw the ball back to your partner, and keep it there until you catch the ball or drop it again. The same goes for 'Tummyache'.
