Australian Circle Game Materials: Balls (one per group of 12-15 Cub Scouts) Instructions: Cub Scouts form a circle with arm's-length spacing. A Cub Scout is chosen to be it. "It" stands inside the circle. The players pass a ball from one to the other. "It" attempts to touch it or catch it. If "It" touches or catches the ball, the last player who touched it is "It." The ball may be passed across the circle at random or to the next player in either direction. Variation A second ball is added to the game. It has a ball and stands in the center of the circle, holding a ball. It tries to throw the ball to someone in the outside circle. Another ball is also being passed around the circle from one person to the next. It may throw the ball to anyone in the outside circle, but the ball is usually thrown to the person about to receive the ball being passed around the circle. If either ball is dropped, the one who dropped it changes places with it.
