Pac-Man

1. Mark a 20 by 20 metre square for 8 to 14 players, with a pile of spare balls beside it.
2. Two hunters start with a ball each. Everyone else runs inside the square without a ball.
3. Hunters dribble and pass to hit the others below the knee. A player who is hit takes a ball from the pile and becomes a hunter too. Leaving the square counts as being hit.
4. The last player left wins the round and starts the next one as a hunter, with the player caught just before. A round takes a minute or two.

A hunter picks a target and decides when the pass is on: close enough, an open line, a runner looking the other way. Keep dribbling closer and the runner gets away; pass too early and the ball misses. As the hunters multiply, they can trap a runner between two of them. The runners have to keep checking where every ball is and move into the space away from them, which gets harder with every player who changes side.
