Make a circle with lime or powder on the grass about 20-30 feet in diameter, the size can vary, depending on the group. Then divide the circle into 4 equal sections.

Create four teams and assign one team per section.

Place several soft nerf like balls in the middle of the circle. Line kids up outside the circle, but still in their section. When you’re ready scream “Go” and tell kids to run in and grab the balls and begin to pelt each other!

Rules:

If you get hit with a ball, you’re out.

If you step outside the circle, you’re out.

If someone catches a ball you threw, you are out.

Play the game until one kid is left. Replay as often as you’d like!

Thanks to Pastor2Youth.com for lending us this game!
