Stop There!
Number of participants: All
who want to play (no less than 3). Rules: Initially, one player takes the
ball. In that moment the rest start running away from the one who has the
ball.
When the one who has the
ball says: "Stop there, John" (he has to name one of the participants).
The one named has to look for the ball, and once he has the ball he says
" stop there " and everybody has to stop. The one who has the ball can
give three steps to get nearer, to his closest partner, and throw him/
her the ball.
It could happen two things:
1. If he touches the person
with the ball, that person has a spot, and he is now the one who has to
say " stop there" and name one person.
2. If he doesn't touch the
person with the ball, that person is "clean" (has not a "spot"), and the
one who threw the ball is called "spot". He has to throw the ball again
and say "Stop there" naming someone.
3. That who gets 3 spots
has to do something required by the group which called "prenda" (kind of
punishment), it consists of doing something funny or embarrassing, it's
not a physical punishment!
4. If he doesn't want to
do it, he is punished with 2 more "prendas", if he still doesn't, the game
starts again and all players are "clean".
5. If he does what the group
requires, the game goes on.
6. The game does not have
a time limit, it finishes when most of the players decide it.
