I. Introduction:

Location: Outdoors

# of Players:  4 players+

Age: All

Equipment: any soft ball that won't hurt when it hits someone

Every player is assigned a number from 1 to the number of total players.

Players form a close circle with one player in the center who has the ball. The player in the center throws the ball straight up as high as s/he can and yells out a number.

Everyone scatters except the player whose number was called. S/He catches or picks up the ball. As soon as s/he has the ball, s/he yells "SPUD" and everyone must freeze.

The new player with the ball can then take up to 3 giant steps towards any player s/he wants. S/He then throws the ball at the targetted player.  The players can move all parts of her/his body to dodge the throw - EXCEPT her/his feet. If the player is hit, s/he gets S otherwise the thrower gets S.

Everyone gets back in a circle and whichever scout received a letter gets to throw the ball up for the next round.

When a scout reaches S-P-U-D, he is out of the game. Or, after a set time, the scout with the least letters is the winner.

Communication

Basics

Communication is a way we use to send messages. There are many ways to communicate: Morse Code, Semaphore Code, Cypher Codes, 2-way radio, are some of the methods we will study in this article. We define the Sender as the one who is transmitting a message; and the Receiver as the one who is listening for the message.

Define a chain as two or more links. Two people start the game as the initial chain. This is the minimum amount of people in a chain.  They hold hands/lock arms and attempt to tag people within the boundaries.  The person they tag joins the chain by linking hands with the chain. When the chain has 4 or more people, that chain can split.  The chain can stay split or can link together at will. However, the split can only happen when there is more than 4 people in the chain. This game is played till all are caught.

Arrange the players in a cicle. One at a time, call out the names of things that are found either above or below. For example: Strawberries grow above ground, potatoes grow below. When you call something that is found above the ground, the players stand; if below, they sit down. Failure to respond correctly, eliminate a player. The last player to remain in the game is the winner.

Variation:Call names of things that fly and crawl.
