What you need:
-One ball
-Kids! The more the better!
How it works:
Start by forming a circle with the kids. Place one of the children, the timer, in the middle with its eyes closed. The timer will start by saying “Tik tak tik tak tik tak…” for as long as it wants. Meanwhile the people in the circle are passing each other the ball clockwise or counterclockwise. The timer decides went the bomb explodes by shouting “BOOM”, the person who has the ball went that happens dies. That kid has to sit down with its legs straight in front. And the game continues, the timer restarts “Tik tak tik tak…”. But now, the kids that are beside a dead person have to jump over their legs before passing the ball to the next person. And so on the game continues until there is only one child left. You can then restart the game by changing the timer.
Variations:
If there is a lot of children playing, it is possible to add a second ball that you will also have to take out when almost all the children have exploded (or else you will end up with 2 balls and 2 children at the end).
