Playground

Players may be eliminated from the court because of errors or fouls they commit. Eliminated players leave the court, the remaining players move up to the next highest square, and a new player joins the court in the lowest square. These situations represent all the ways in which a player may be eliminated from the court. Players are eliminated for: **Eliminated players wait in line for their next turn.**
 * 1) Failing to hit the ball into another square;
 * 2) Allowing the ball to bounce more than once in their own square;
 * 3) Hitting the ball out of bounds or onto an inside line;
 * 4) Hitting the ball incorrectly, such as holding, catching or carrying;
 * 5) Hitting the ball with a part of the body that are not hands;
 * 6) Hitting the ball out of turn (poaching);
 * 7) Violating any number of local rules that are made up on the playground;

Make yourself "It" and walk around the outside of the circle, tapping each sitting child on the head and announcing "Duck" until you get to the chosen "Goose." The moment you say "Goose," take off running around the circle with the Goose in hot pursuit. If the Goose tags you (and let's hope he does) before you circle back to the empty spot, switch places with him and start a new round. On it goes; just make sure everyone gets a turn as Goose. = =
