What you need:

• 5 sheets of paper per player – this is great way to reuse wrapping paper! 
• Tape 
• Permanent marker
• Box, string, or another way to make a place to place the balls of paper

Goal: Collect paper “balls” with your name on them, and be the first to place yours in the box or circle.

Instructions:

1. Draw a circle with tape or string, or place a box in the main room of your home. 
2. Each person wads up five sheets of paper (make sure they are the same size sheets for each player).
3. Place a piece of tape with your name on it, on each of your five balls/wads of paper. 
4. Designate one family member as “it”. 
5. The person chosen as “it” puts the balls around the house in various rooms, in plain sight (not hidden). 
6. Once completed, they count to three, starting the game! 
7. Each player (other than “it” ) runs to collect their balls!
8. The first to place all of their 5 balls into the box or in the circle (with their own name on it), wins!

Additional rules: Family members cannot hide, or move, each other’s balls if found. Doing so is an automatic “out” for that player!

Alternate rules:

• Hide the balls rather than placing them in sight, to make it a longer, and more strategic game! (Make sure they are low enough for shorter players to still find).
