Game for the end of the day - Quiet Ball


           Quiet Ball is a game that you can play at the end of the day to reward a class for being good that day.  The class forms a large circle around the outside of the room.  You will need a Nerf type ball that will not hurt anyone when thrown.  The first rule is you need to throw the ball well.  If the throw is good and the catcher doesn’t catch it then the catcher is out, but if the throw is bad the thrower is out.
        The Game is called quiet because only two people may talk without getting out.   If anyone talks besides these two students they are automatically out.   You choose a student to be a judge.  He or she will determine if the throw is a good or bad throw.  The person who is throwing the ball says the name of the person he is throwing the ball to and then throws the ball.    If it is a good throw and it is caught no one is out.  If it is a good throw and it is not caught the person who was to catch it is out.   If the throw is a bad throw the thrower is out.   If it is a bad throw, but it is caught no one is out.
           They should not throw the ball to anyone that is not at least three people away from them until there is only a few left.  The last person standing is the judge for the next game.  Any arguing with the judge is automatically out.  Judges need to be fair so keep your eye on them and over rule them if you need to .

I like this game because it is quiet.
