    Breaking Bottles
    Any number of girls can play this game. All the girls stand around in a ring about four yards apart. They have a ball and they throw the ball to one another.If a girl misses the ball she has to go down on one knee. If she misses a second time she has to go down on her two knees. If she misses a third time she has to catch it with one hand only. If she misses it again she has to try to catch it with her mouth. If she misses it again she has to try to hit it with her head. If she misses it again she is out.
