How to Play: The ball in this game is the players’ heads (for
pretend of course). The thrower places both hands on his head and
pretends to throw the ball to another player while calling her name.
That player catches the ball by putting both hands on her head. That
player becomes the thrower and continues the game by throwing the ball
to another named player. The throwing and catching action can be
dramatically exaggerated.
