Players gather in a circle, with one designated as "It." The game begins as "It" throws the ball in the air, calling out another player's name, prompting everyone to scatter. The newly designated player ("New It") takes possession of the ball, shouting "STOP." Holding the ball, the "New It" advances four steps toward a chosen "Target" without jumping. The objective is to hit the "Target" with the ball without skipping it or aiming for the head. The "Target" cannot jump, but can dodge or catch the ball with feet on the ground. If successful, the "Target" becomes "It." If the "New It" hits the "Target," they become the new "It," and the cycle repeats. The game continues until a final showdown between the last two players determines the winner.
