12.
Make sure that each player has their own number. , It must then shout out a number while throwing the ball in the air.
All players, including "it"
must run away from the ball.
But, if your number is called, you must catch the ball and say "Spud!" When you say "spud"
everyone must freeze., Now, they have to throw it at that player.
If they miss, or the player catches the ball, the thrower gets an "S".
If the player gets hit, they get an "S".
The player that they hit (or missed) is the next thrower., If a ghost number is called, everyone must rush up to the ball and touch it.

If you spell out S-P-U-D you lose.
The last player standing is the winner. -
