Game Description:
Dodge Ball is a classic, fast-paced team-based game that requires strategy, quick reflexes, and a bit of luck. Played with a bouncy ball and a group of players, the objective is to eliminate the opposing team by hitting them with the ball before they can do the same to you.
How to Play:
- Divide players into two teams, each with a predetermined number of players (usually 4-6).
- Each player starts at a designated line or boundary, with the ball placed in the center of the playing area.
- On the whistle, both teams rush to grab the ball and try to hit opponents to eliminate them.
- Players can only hold the ball for a few seconds before they must throw it or pass it to a teammate.
- If a player is hit by the ball and it is caught by a teammate, the hit player is saved and can rejoin the game.
- If a player is hit and the ball is not caught, they are out of the game.
- The game continues until one team has all its players eliminated, at which point the other team wins.
