signal by being tossed over the heads of the intervening rank to
Number One in the other rank of his party. This player tosses the ball
back to Number Two in the first rank, and so the ball is tossed in
zigzag form from one player to another in ranks of the same color
until it reaches the end of the line, when it is zigzagged back to the
starting point in the same way. This is all done over the heads of an
intervening rank of the opposite color. Simultaneously the competing
team is playing in the same way.
[Illustration diagram: ZIGZAG OVERHEAD TOSS]
The party wins which first gets the ball back to the starting point.
With a large number of players the number of ranks may be increased
beyond four if desired.
This game may be made more interesting and require much more
alertness on the part of the players by putting more balls into
play. This may be done by the starters starting a second or
more balls, tossing down the line as soon as a predecessor has
reached the third player. When this is done, the game is won
(_a_) by the party whose last player at the foot of the line is
first to receive the last ball; or (_b_) the last player may
accumulate the balls and return them to the front in reverse
order, the party winning which first gets its last ball back to
the original starter.
INDEX
GAMES FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
This grading of the games for schools indicates the lowest
grade in which, on an average, a game is found to be suitable,
its use being intended in any succeeding grade also. The
so-called "quiet" games are not necessarily noiseless, but are
distinguished from the games in which there is running or much
moving around. Most of the quiet games are intended for
schoolroom use, many of them for small groups that may assemble
before the opening of a session.

GAMES FOR PLAYGROUNDS, GYMNASIUMS, AND LARGE NUMBERS
The term "playground" is here used to designate a general
outdoor play space of liberal area. The open country or a
village would be just as suitable for many of the games, though
with few exceptions they may be played in limited territory.
With the exception of the hide-and-seek games almost all are
equally suitable for both playground and gymnasium. The list
includes games for players from kindergarten age to adults, and
for both large and small numbers. For games for players of
different ages, see Index for Elementary and High Schools.
In the column indicating which games are suited to large
numbers, the figures indicate the largest number with which the
game may be well played. Still larger numbers of players may
participate, but the group method is advisable for so many.

GAMES FOR BOYS' AND GIRLS' SUMMER CAMPS
The games in this list are selected with a view to suitableness
for the open country, and to a wide range of ages which often
are found in summer camps. The so-called "quiet" games are not
necessarily noiseless, but are distinguished from active games
in which the players move around.
