Divvy the class into equal teams and give each team a set of the same colored pinnies. Have players spread out around the gym and give each player a ball. The object of the game is to tag another team player with the ball. When a player gets tagged, someone from their own team taps them back into the game by touching balls. If an entire team gets out, then they are eliminated.
