I strained my brain trying to think of a way to simulate it Muggle-style
during our end-of-theme HP party and failed.

My students and I played quidditch last year with six hula hoops, a golf
ball, two foam soccer balls, and a kickball. We had the same players but
the beaters went around throwing the foam soccer balls at the chasers. The
chasers are kicking the kickball around trying to get them throught the
hula hoops. Every time a chaser got hit, the team lost two points. A
goal through one of the hula hoops was worth fifteen points. We never
quite figured out how to use the golf ball best. We tried hiding it and
the seekers couldn't look for it until we'd played ten minutes. Then we
tried someone throwing it in suddenly in the middle of the game. It was
worth fifty points. It takes several scorekeepers, and is very confusing,
but that's how my kiddos planned it. They loved it.

(Catlady back again: My friend Lee said that all the children who are
not on the two teams should stand around the pitch throwing the Snitch
to each other, like keep-away.)
