A lot of times what happens is that the bird gets over-excited and the play turns intense for it. It's like a little kid who gets over-excited and starts acting out. What you need to do is calm the game down when she starts getting hyper. Put her back in her cage, or a playstand where she can have some alone time to settle down again. Do it gently though, slow movements, calm, slow voice but positive so she knows she's not in trouble.

Sally Blanchard has a great article about this very thing in the August issue of Bird Talk. You might want to check it out.
