One of the players is to be chosen as Indian Chief and he has got to be very nippy and fast. The group forms a big circle. In the middle, there are placed five plastic bottles. The Chief goes into the middle and his job is to keep the bottles standing upright while the other players try to knock them over by throwing a football at them. Whoever manages to keep the bottles standing for a given time is quick enough to be "Indian Chief."
Variation: Try this game using other kinds of balls, (tennis, basketball, etc.).
