3 pairs of players start by holding hands. They are the crocodiles. All other players have 1 ball each.
The players dribble around trying to avoid the crocodiles. If a crocodile kicks a players ball out of the area, the player then links hands with the crocodile. Together, they chase other players. Play until 1 player remains.
