Gotcha - Outcome A (7-9)-6

Students choose a partner and label themselves as "A" or "B". Student A stands on one line and Student B stands approximately 10 steps away in front of another line. Student A has a handball.

How to Play

• "A" throws the handball over "B", runs to a designated line behind "B", and runs back to the start line without being tagged by "B". Student "B" has to retrieve the handball before he/she can tag "A".

• If "B" tags "A", then "B" receives the point.
