Push Catch
From: Michael Edward McFee 13e Rockland and 51e Clarence leader for the Louveteaux (Cubs) and the Eclaireurs (Scouts) in Association des Scouts du Canada
Need:
- A ball
Here is an interesting game that has become quite popular with the various groups I have been associated with over the years, starting with the one I was in as a kid. The rules are simple. Everyone is in a circle except for one person in the middle (usually a leader to start). The person in the leader has a ball which the leader throws to those in the circle. The leader must shout out either PUSH or CATCH. The person to whom the ball is thrown must DO THE OPPOSITE ACTION that was shouted out. That is if the leader shouts PUSH, the Cub must CATCH the ball. If the leader shouts CATCH the cub PUSHES the ball. If an error is committed by either not doing the opposite or stumbling with the ball, The Cub must sit down or step back and is eliminated from play.
To start, it is wise to give one practice shot each to each player, then randomly select players, shooting the ball at them more than once. The game may sound simple but if the Thrower is cunning it can be quite difficult. The last one standing in the circle is the winner. You can then proceed to find out how many throws this person can handle before he/she is eliminated, and keep a record.
Variation.
If the group gets really good at the game, is that the shouter must shout out 3 words (such as PUSH CATCH PUSH) and the Cub must do the opposite of the middle one (or the first or last).
