Eating cherries – this is how it works
The players throw the ball to each other while standing in a circle. If a child does not catch the ball, the others say: “Eaten cherries.” If the ball is not caught a second time, it is said: “Drunk water.” The third miscatch means “stomach ache”, the fourth “the doctor is coming”. . Depending on the desired length of the game, “Hospital”, “Operation” and “Heaven” can be added before elimination. Play continues until there is only one child left.
