The game I am going to present to you today is very common in Greece. All you need is a ball, a wall and a group of friends which makes it very easy to play on places like a schoolyard.
All players line up facing the wall. The person who starts has the ball in his or her hands and throws it against the wall. As the ball comes back it must bounce on the floor ones and then pass under the players’ leg. To achieve this the player must coordinate himself in a way that he or she puts the one leg up in the right moment. If the ball passes beside or over the leg of the player or even hits the players leg, he or she lost and has to stand with his or her back to the wall facing the other players.
Now the game continues, and the other players try to let the ball pass under their legs as well. There is just another difficulty. The player who is standing at the wall has the possibility to catch the ball. If he manages, he or she exchanges places with the player who threw the ball.
The game goes on until everyone except for one player is standing at the wall. Now the one player in front of the wall must hand the ball over to each of the other players. One by one they each have the chance now to get back in the game. The players at the wall take the ball and try to throw it against the wall over their heads that it bounces off in a way that it is impossible for the player in front of the wall to catch it. For this each of the players at the wall has five tries. If the player in front of the wall manages to catch all balls he or she wins, if not some of the players return to the game and it goes on like before.
I hope you enjoy playing this game! Have fun!
