ARCH GOAL BALL

Basketball and basket goal are necessary equipment. The players (8 to
10 on a team) are divided into seven groups and line up in a single
file in two or more lines, facing a basketball goal. Each line has a
basketball and stands behind a starting line.

A game is finished when the last man on the team has crossed the
starting line before the others have finished.

At a signal each leader passes the ball backward overhead and the next
player takes it and passes it on in the same way, and so on down the
line. When the last player receives the ball, he runs forward and tries
to throw it into the basket standing on a line marked from five to ten
feet from the goal. He is allowed but one throw, when he quickly takes
his place at the front of his line (the line moving backward in place
to make room for him), and he at once passes the ball backward
overhead. The last player in turn runs forward, tries for the goal, and
this is repeated until each player in line has thrown for goal.

Two points are scored for each team making the goal, one point may be
given for finishing first. The team having the highest score wins.

Sometimes the game is played with a time limit. In this case each
player throws until he succeeds in getting the ball into the basket.
The team wins whose last man finished first.

CHICKEN AND FOX

Two players are chosen--one to be the mother hen and the other to be
the fox, who is after a chicken for his meal. The other players are in
the brood--each one of them grasps the one in front of him, beginning
with the largest, and placing themselves in line behind their mother.
As the fox appears the hen says, "What do you want, Fox?" The fox
replies, "I want a chicken." The hen in turn says, "Where will you get
it?" The fox then replies "Out of your flock." The fox then runs to the
right and left trying to pass the mother and get one of the chickens.
The one caught becomes fox and the hen takes her place at the end of
the line. The second in line in turn becomes mother hen.

CHANGING PLACES

All players but one stand in a circle of about seven yards or more in
diameter facing inward. The odd player stands in the middle. Each
player is given a number which he retains all through the game. The
teacher calls out two numbers (but not, of course, that of the player
in the middle) and the players so numbered must change places in the
circle. While they are doin
