HOW TO PLAY
Start here.
YOU’LL NEEDA soft ball—or a rolled pair of socks
- 1Everyone starts at level 1. Take turns receiving three underhand tosses from a partner. In a group, the person to your left throws. Solo? Toss straight up and catch your own ball.
- 2Level 1: catch normally. Level 2: while the ball is in the air, clap once, then catch. Level 3: while it is in the air, touch your knee with one hand, then catch.
- 3Level 4: clap twice while the ball is in the air, then catch. Level 5: catch with only the hand you do not write with.
- 4Catch all three tosses to move up a level on your next turn. If you miss any, stay at your current level. After three tosses, the next player takes a turn.
- 5First to complete level 5 wins. Solo players follow the same three-toss rounds and count how many rounds it takes to finish.
