Poison Ball

Mark a play area and have most players scatter inside while one or two throwers stay outside or in the center.

Throwers try to hit players below the shoulders with the ball to "poison" them out.

Anyone hit steps outside the play area to wait out the rest of the round.

Players inside can dodge the ball or catch it cleanly to stay safe.

A clean catch of a thrown ball can send the thrower out instead, depending on house rules.

The last player left un-poisoned inside the area wins the round.
