Well THIS is the official explanation but ours is easier.
You have some hand sized balls and you have what we call the "snitch" thanks to Harry Potter. Each person gets one or two balls to throw (depending on how many people you have and how many balls you have). You can play in teams or individually.
- One person throws the snitch from a specific place. Close or far, it doesn't matter...just don't break anything.
- The next person throws a ball FROM THE SAME PLACE and tries to get as close as they can to the snitch.
- The next person does the same...etc. etc. etc. until everyone is out of balls
- The person that got closest to the snitch gets ONE POINT and gets the honor of throwing the snitch again.
- The first person that gets 10 points is the winner
- Go inside and have some ice cream to celebrate
