Fool Ball

Players stand in a large circle facing in with the leader in the middle. Players circle around him/her. The leader tells which players will have the first turn and which direction play will go around the circle. Then the leader explains the he/she will make a motion of throwing the ball to each player, trying to fool them into thinking he/she will actually throw it. Players must stand motionless without moving their arms unless the leader really throws the ball. If the ball is thrown players must catch it. If a player is fooled into moving his arms or fails to catch the ball he/she is expelled from the game. He/she remains in the circle but must sit down. The last player left standing is the fooler for the next game.
