Let’s Play Ball
No Talking only Movement If another team uses a ball you have on your paper, cross it out. You may not use the same ball as another team. This will disqualify your team. Clockwise, each person will have the chance to get up and throw/catch a ball till the game ends. Warning!!!!! This game will move quickly
