Players sit in chars in a semicircle. One player faces them holding a playground ball. On a signal, this player throws the ball into the air, lets it bounce once, and then catches it. While the ball is in the air, the other players laugh loudly and continuously. They are completely silent, however, before the ball is thrown and after it is caught. Any player who laughs at these times is eliminated. The throwing is repeated again and again, until only one player-the player who laughs on signal only-remains in the game as the winner.
