Games the kids love to play...
Dodge Ball
 * Played on a court divided into 3 equal spaces (netball court)
 * Middle third is neutral territory
 * Use any number of 'gator skin' balls
 * Players from opposite teams throw the ball at each other and if you are hit on the full below the shoulder you are to go to the sidelines.
 * A player may come back into play if somebody on your team catches the ball on the full.
 * Line up 3 wooden blocks on the base line at each end and nominate one member of each team to act as the protector. Each time a block is knocked down it isn't replaced and all of the players out may come back in for the team that knocked over the block.
 * Once one block is left nobody may protect it from within a certain zone (size may vary).
 * A team wins if they eliminate all opposing players or knock down all three blocks.
 * Modify to suit.

 Crocodile Hunter  Ga Ga Ball (nothing to do with the pop singer)  It's a knock out
 * Played across __or__ length ways on a basketball court.
 * 2 players are chosen as Crocodile Hunters with the remaining players as Crocodiles.
 * Each Crocodile is in possession of a ball. To cross the court they must be holding this ball. Once crossed they must wait for the remaining Crocodiles to cross before heading back.
 * If the croc is tagged by the croc cunter whilst crossing the court that player loses their ball and is given a free walk to the side of the court they were headed to. The croc is now without a ball to cross and must rely on other crocs to roll the ball back across the court in order to get across themselves. If the croc is tagged in possession of somebody elses ball they must give the ball back to the croc that gave it to them and sit down where they were tagged on the court. This croc is still involved in the game as a 'mid croc' when players are trying to get the ball across to the other side to rescue stranded crocs. Croc hunters may intercept balls being rolled across to stranded crocs.
 * The game is finished when all crocs have been caught or have been left stranded.
 * The area for the game is dependent on the number of participants.
 * Each player fends for themselves.
 * Use one 'gator skin' ball and throw it in the air then with one word for each of the first three bounces all students call out "Ga Ga Ball!". Then it is game on!
 * The players can only hit the ball below the elbow. They must not catch, grab or touch the ball with any other part of their body. The aim of the person striking the ball is to get it to hit the legs of another person. If they can do this that person is then out and heads to the side of the game. That person then must assist in keeping the ball inside the playing area. If the ball is struck above the waist the striker is out. Each time the game is restarted after somebody is eliminated the call "Ga Ga Ball!" is called out.
 * Continue to reduce the size of the playing area to ensure that players are kept under pressure.
 * The winner is the last player left in the game.
