Fehlball

Fehlball is a traditional German folk game played with a ball. The objective of the game is for one player, designated as the "Fehl", to prevent the other players, the "Läufer", from reaching a safe zone. The game is typically played in an open outdoor area, such as a field or park.

The game begins with the Fehl throwing the ball. If a Läufer is hit by the ball directly thrown by the Fehl and does not catch it, they become the new Fehl. If the ball is caught by a Läufer, the thrower remains the Fehl. The Läufer attempt to move from one designated point to another without being hit. If a Läufer successfully reaches the safe zone without being hit, they are safe.

Fehlball is a game of agility, throwing accuracy, and strategic movement. It requires players to be quick on their feet and to anticipate the movements of the Fehl. The rules can vary slightly depending on local traditions and the age of the players. It is often played by children as a recreational activity.

The simplicity of the game makes it accessible and easy to learn. It promotes physical activity and can be played with a relatively small group of people. The element of surprise and the chase involved make it an engaging and dynamic game.
