Play a simple game of tag with one, two or three balls; depending on the number of players you have. A small team is 'it' and a larger team isn't. The bigger team have to try and not get tagged by passing the ball around to players in danger of being tagged. In possession of the ball you cannot get tagged. Play this game with size 1 balls to make it even more difficult and dynamic.
