Dodgeball

Game Description:

  1. Divide the room into two equal sections.
  2. Position all of the balls in the middle of the room.
  3. The game starts.
  4. If a player is hit below the knees with a ball, they are eliminated.
  5. If a player catches a ball before it hits the ground, a teammate is allowed to rejoin the game.
  6. The team that loses all of its players first is defeated, and the other team wins.

Consider implementing the following house rules:

  • Include the effects of rebounds off of the ground or walls.
  • Articulate whether players may deflect balls with their hands rather than catching them.
  • Decide who rejoins the game first if a ball is successfully caught.
