One player has the ball, the rest of the players choose a subject like cars,

4

or more Players

These are the rules of playing Bad Egg.

One player shouts out car names and the person with the ball chooses a car then throws the ball against a gable end or edge of a wall.

The other players disperse until the person called out gets the ball and shouts "bad egg"

All players then stand still

The Player with the ball then throws it to hit below knee of the nearest player

If they are hit they form a team to catch the next player, if not then the thrower has to get the ball while everyone scatters.

Often played as a kid in Cheetham Hill in late 50's
