How to play
Four players at a time: ace, king, queen and jack. Each one is located in the corner of a square. The ace starts and needs to hit the ball with his open hand and must make the ball bounce off the other's square. The person who receives the ball has to do the same with another square and so on. If a person misses the ball or the ball goes out of the square, that person falls. When someone fights, everyone moves up one place. Now another person can enter the game instead of Jack.

Mingle mingle mingle
Get the whole group together. The leader running the game calls out a category question (for example - what is your favorite color?). Everyone in the group would then have to start calling out their favorite color to each other and find the others in the group who have the same favorite color as them. When a player finds another player who has the same answer as them they then join together (by linking arms) and continue to go round the group looking for more people with the same answer. After a minute or so (completely up to the leader running the game) the leader can call "STOP". Each group needs to call out their answer. If there are two people/groups who have the same answer but are not linked together then they are eliminated from the next round. Or alternatively, to keep everyone involved, you can give each kid five wrapped lollies or popsticks to start with and they lose one each time this happens. Be creative with the questions you ask: - Favorite pizza topping - Favorite ice cream flavour - Favorite TV show - Favorite band - Favorite book of the Bible, etc.
