How to play
Spread the group around the room. The ball-holder passes to someone, who takes one step after catching. The ball-holder can then try to tag someone else with the ball in hand, and if successful that person is out. If the ball is dropped, the dropper is out. Complete silence at all times, so any noise (including giggles) means you're out. Last person in wins. For older groups, add extra rules: stand on one leg, boys pass to girls and vice versa, three-second hold limit, and so on.
