== Please add an addition to the games page. This addition was unknown by author probably because he's male and would not have played it. Add the letter A as 1. Then add game name: Alphabet Ball. ==

The game description is: Played on hard pavements with a Spaldene ball that is bounced continuously in rhythm with a song that's sung at the same time. A my name is (girl's name beginning with A), my husband's name is (male name with A), and we come from (state, city, or country with A). Then player proceeds to B. The player continues as long as she is able to successfully bounce the ball without hitting it or losing it and also successfully fill in names as she progresses through the alphabet. The winner is the girl that gets the farthest in the alphabet. When a girl errors out, on her next turn she starts at the beginning again. Resource: Myself. I grew up in NYC and this was a game played all the time in the 50s and 60s. Friends from NJ also played it. ==== I hope I set this up correctly. Thank you DorrieL
