    get each other out until there are only 2 left.
    These are the winners.

    talking.
  • 2) No throwing the ball back to the same person
    who threw it to you.
  • 3) No throwing the ball with unnecessary
    roughness or so that it is impossible to catch.
  • 4) No dropping the ball.
  • 5) No making it impossible for someone to throw
    to you, either by avoiding eye contact at all
    times or other means.
  • 6) Mrs. G is the referee, if you argue you are
    out!!
