How to play
Teams line up shoulder to shoulder. The first player tucks an orange under their chin, and it must travel down the whole line passed only from neck to neck — no hands allowed at any point. If the orange drops, it goes back two players (or to the start, for a harsher game) and continues. First team to get the orange to the end of the line wins. The contortions required to make each hand-free transfer are the entire point. A balloon works as a gentler alternative.

Matball
Kickball's big-gym cousin, beloved in schools. Bases are large gym mats, and any number of runners can stand on a base at the same time — so a whole team can pile up on second waiting for a big kick. Runners must circle the bases twice to score, doubling the drama. The fielding team gets kickers out by catching flies or hitting runners below the shoulders with the ball between mats. Three outs (or a full rotation of kickers) swaps the sides.
