This game is Called "Kerbs" or "Kerbie"

Tow people play. One person stands on one path facing the road and the other person stand on the opposite path.

You use a bouncing ball and throw the ball and try to hit the kerb of the other path.  The other person has to catch the ball before it hits the kerb, while still remaining on the path. You can throw the ball backward or forward. If you throw the ball forwards you get 10 points and if you throw the ball backwards you get 50 points.

When you win points you move to the middle of the road and throw the ball at the kerb and get points each time you succeed. If you miss you run back to you kerb as fast as you can but if the other hits you with the ball before you get there you lose all your points! (Casey, Rang 4)

Kerbs

I like playing "Kerbs". If you want to play Kerbs you have to have a ball and stand on a footpath.

One person stands on one side of the road and one on the other side. When you are playing you have to hit the kerb on the other path and if you forward throw you get 10 points and if you backwards throw you get 50 points. When you get points you move into the middle of the road and continue to throw the ball at the kerb. You stay in the middle until you miss and then you run back to the path on which you were standing. If the person on the other side hits you with the ball while you are running back they get all you points. And this is how you play "Kerbie". (Rachel)
