HOW TO PLAYAt the start of a game: Players gather near the ball. The ball announces the game selected.At the end of a game: The ball asks if you would like to play the same game again or select a new game.– If you want to play the same game again – either with the same teams or new teams – pass the ball as directed. The game begins again.– If you want to play a different game, pass the ball as directed. Then press the ball button as described above to select the game you want.Game 1: Team CountdownFor 4 or More PlayersGoal: Be the first team to complete a certain number of passes.Players are divided into two teams. The ball announces which colors are on which teams. – If the teams have an equal number of players, the first team to complete 20 successful passes wins. – If the teams are not equal in size, then the smaller team must complete 15 successful passes to win before the larger team completes 20 passes. The ball announces the player color to begin. When the ball says GO, that player attempts to pass the ball to another teammate as quickly as possible while the opposing team tries to intercept it. The game counts down and keeps track of the successful passes. When a player on the opposing team intercepts the ball, it counts as a pass for that team. The players on that team now pass the ball to each other as the game counts down.If a player takes too long to pass, the ball announces TIME’S UP and announces which player on the opposing team gets the ball. Play continues as described above. The first team to complete the correct amount of passes wins!Game 2: Monkey in the MiddleFor 3 or More PlayersGoal: Pass the ball between teammates for as long as possible, trying to keep the Monkey in the Middle from intercepting it. The ball announces which color starts with the ball and which color to keep away from. This player is the monkey in the middle. (If there are 5 or more players, the ball will direct more than one color Monkey in the Middle to play at the same time.) All other colors join the “start” color in keeping the ball away from the Monkey in the Middle. When the ball says GO, that player tries to pass the ball to another teammate as quickly as possible while the Monkey(s) in the Middle tries to intercept it. As the game continues, team members must pass the ball faster and faster. If a player takes too long to pass, the ball announces TIME’S UP and the game is over. If the pass is intercepted by the Monkey in the Middle, the ball announces INTERCEPTION! and the game is over. The number of successful passes/interceptions is then announced. The ball then picks a new Monkey in the Middle and game play continues as directed by the ball. After everyone has been Monkey in the Middle, can you remember which team color combination had the most successful passes?Game 3: One-Minute Monkey in the MiddleFor 3 or More PlayersGoal: Be the Monkey in the Middle for the shortest possible time.The ball announces which color starts with the ball and which color to keep away from. This player is the Monkey in the Middle. All other players join the “start” player in keeping the ball away from the Monkey in the Middle. When the ball says GO, that player tries to pass the ball to another teammate as quickly as possible while the Monkey in the Middle tries to intercept it. Each round lasts up to one minute.As the game continues, team members must pass the ball faster and faster. If a player takes too long to pass, the ball announces TIME’S UP and the round is over. If the ball is intercepted by the Monkey in the Middle within one minute, the ball announces INTERCEPTION and the round is over. The ball keeps track of how long each round lasts. A new Monkey in the Middle is then announced and a new round begins as directed by the ball. Rounds continue until all players have been Monkey in the Middle. The player with the shortest period of time as Monkey in the Middle is announced as the winner. TM7W0924-2_40484 Cosmic Keep Away 1 1 10/4/07 1:07:43 PM
