First Bounce Fly

First Bounce Fly

A childhood game, often played at recess, wherein one person is up (i.e. has a turn), and a group of others waits, a certain distance away, for the person that is up to throw a ball toward them. The ball is thrown though the air and individuals in the waiting group try to catch the ball on the fly (i.e. before it hits the ground), or after the ball bounces once. If an individual is successful, that person becomes the person that is up. If no one is successful, the original person that was up, is up again and repeats the process.

More complicated variants are "500" and "Three Flies Up."
