  3. That person calls another person's name and tosses the ball to him/her, and so on until everyone has received the ball at least once.
  4. For the duration of the game, each person throws the ball to the same person.
  5. It is fun to get several balls going at once.
  6. It is also fun to time how long it takes the group to complete the game.
