  1. Old Games - Ball in the Hat

    Share Share Post
    A number of children stand in a row each child put down a hat and stand behind it, one child throws a ball to see whose hat she could get it into. What ever hat the ball went into that child would take it up and all the other children would run away, and what ever child she hit with the ball it would be her turn to throw it into the hats.
