During play, the player must pick up the jacks and catch the ball on one bounce with the same hand. When picking up jacks, the player can touch only the ones he is picking up.
If he moves or touches others, his turn is over. On any play, each player has only one try. If a player makes a mistake and loses his turn, on the next turn he goes back to the beginning of the play in which he made the mistake. To play: For ones onesies : Player 1 tosses the ball, picks up one jack, then catches the ball on one bounce with the same hand. Player 1 then puts the jack in the other hand and repeats the play, again picking up one jack.
Player 1 continues until all six jacks have been picked up, one at a time. For twos twosies : Player 1 bounces the ball, picks up two jacks, catches the ball on one bounce in the same hand, then puts the jacks in the other hand.
