    I The cat and the mouse
    Everyone in the game catches hands and goes round in a ring. Then one of the players goes into the centre of the ring and she picks some other girl to be a mouse and the cat follows the mouse until she catches her.
    II Donkey
    Everyone stands apart and one player throws the ball to another player and whoever misses the ball seven times is the donkey.
