Place a punchball in a small pit. Everyone sits around it. Each participant represents one letter of the alphabet or a name: an animal, geographical term, etc. The instructor or one of the designated boys signals from a distance greater than 100 meters a letter, e.g., “g,” or a name. The boy assigned to the letter “g” or the given name then runs to the ball and tries to tag the others, who scatter. The same game can be played using auditory signals with a whistle (short whistle — dot, long whistle — dash).
