Progressive Captain Ball

(See Captain Ball V.)

Progressive Dodgeball

(See Dodgeball.)

Ring Call Ball

(See also Call Ball.)

10 to 30 or more players.

Playground; gymnasium.

Hand ball; bean bag.

This game is similar in some respects to Call Ball, but being played in a circle formation, is much simpler and less difficult and exciting, being suited particularly to younger players.

The players form a circle, with one in the center, who throws a ball in the air, at the same time calling the name of one of the circle players. The one called must run forward and catch the ball before it bounds more than once. If he catches it, he returns to the circle. If he does not catch it, he changes places with the thrower.
