The children stand in a circle, with one child in the middle. Those in the circle must pass a ball behind their backs, from child to child, without the child in the middle seeing who has the ball.
When the leader says 'stop', the child in the middle must guess who is holding the ball. If they guess correctly, the child in the middle swaps places with the one who had the ball. If they guess incorrectly, the game continues with the same child in the middle, and the ball is passed on again until the next stop.
