How to Play Square Ball

Find a nice, wide wall next to concrete. Divide the concrete into a strip of five squares side by side, each about four feet by four feet. Draw the boundary lines with sidewalk chalk and number the squares 1 to 5 from right to left.

Have each player take a square and stand about five feet behind their square.

Bounce the ball into your own square if you are behind box number one so that after it hits the number one square, it then bounces up to the wall and back into someone else's square. It doesn't matter whose square it lands in.

Catch the ball if it has landed in your square, and then bounce it back the same exact way player one bounced it; having it land in your square first, then the wall, then another person's square.

Leave the game if you fail to catch the ball when it lands in your square or you throw the ball at the wall before bouncing it first.

Move one square to the right after someone leaves the game to keep everyone close together.

Win the game by being the last remaining player in the game.
