It should be a good-sized inflatable ball. A kickball, volleyball or a soccer ball is perfect for this game though both have their faults. A kickball is soft and bounces well, but it is harder to hit and is almost too bouncy. A soccer ball is perfect, except that it can hurt if hit too hard. A smaller ball will work if nothing else is available, but be careful what size ball you choose. Too large, and it complicates things. Too small, and it makes the game harder, if not impossible. Choose an enclosed space that is clear of debris. It could be a room clear of furniture or a squash court. It must be as level as possible, as inclines will make the game harder. The game is intended to be for a large group, hopefully for five people or more. There should be no more than 30 people. Obviously, the number of people you can have is limited by your playing space.

Look for berries that have white, fuzzy mold and toss them out. The mold can be found around the stem area. You will also want to discard any berries that are too soft or wilted looking; they are too ripe and will rot quickly. Sorting the bad berries from the good ones will prevent mold from spreading. Most of the stems should have fallen off on their own, but it would be a good idea to go through the berries again and pick off any remaining stems. They won't harm you if you eat them, but they will taste bitter. In general, you should not wash berries until you are ready to eat them. Washing them too soon can lead to mold. Washing them with vinegar water, however, can kill mold spores and prevent from mold growing in the first place. Put the berries into a colander or strainer, and dunk them into a bowl filled with the vinegar water. Shake the colander or strainer, then pull it out. Rinse the berries using cool water; this will get rid of any vinegar flavor. Any moisture left on the berries will cause them to mold too soon, so you will need to make sure that they are completely dry before storing them. There are a few ways in which you can dry the berries:  Line the inside of a salad spinner with a few paper towels and put the berries inside. Spin them for a few seconds until there is no more moisture. Spread the berries out on a tray and let them air dry. Use a fan to speed up the process.
