PRISONER BALL (ES: BALÓN PRISIONERO)
Players: A game for unlimited players
Place: It can be played both indoors and outdoors
Equipment: Volleyball or soccer ball
How to play it: The 'prisoner ball' is a game played with a ball, preferably volleyball or soccer, where each team tries to imprison every member of the opposing one. The game is ideally played on a volleyball court that doesn't have a net or alternatively a similar sized area to a volleyball court . Each team is spread on opposing sides of the court and cannot enter the other team territory, while one player from each team starts the game as a prisoner, standing behind the rival team. Each team tries to hit the opponents by throwing the ball. If a rival player manages to catch the ball before it hits the ground, the receiver team takes control of the ball while the player who threw the ball becomes a prisoner and stand behind the court of the rival team. However, if a player on the receiver team gets hit, he is the one who becomes the prisoner. The prisoners, gather the ball when it falls outside of the court and they also try to hit the rival players. If they manage to do that, they return with their team and continue playing from there. The winning team will be the one that manages to capture all the rivals as prisoners. Note: When a player is hit and becomes a prisoner, the game is paused while he is going to the prison and begins again with the new prisoner throwing the ball.

THE HIDEOUT (ES: EL ESCONDITE)
Players: A game for unlimited players
Place: It can be played both indoors and outdoors
Equipment: No equipment needed
How to play it: The player faces a wall or a tree, without looking, and counts out loud to 15, 20 or 50, depending on what all players agree on before starting. All the others hide. When the count is finished, the pursuer says: "I'm going out to look" and the others must be silent so that they don't find them so quickly.
The player who counted begins to search to see if they discover another player, but at the same time they must prevent any of the players from coming out of hiding and going to the "tapo" which is the place where he was counting, if any of them reaches this place, everyone will be safe and the pursuer must recount. But if the player who was hiding goes out to get to the "tapo" and the pursuer reaches him before he touches that spot, he will be out of the game.
While the pursuer is busy trapping players, the others can come out of hiding and try to get to the "tapo". This makes the chase more difficult, because the one who does it must run in many directions, and at the same time, avoid being saved. The player who finds the last one and who does not reach to touch the "tapo" will be the next to count and look for the hidden ones.
