Dodgeball Games

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Battlefield. In this game, the objective is to capture the flag from the opposing team to bring it back to your side of the field.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams. Each team will have a flag placed in a hula-hoop on their side.
• If you are on your side of the field, you can be hit with a fuzzy ball.
• If you cross the midline and enter the other team’s side, you can be tagged or hit with a fuzzy ball.
• If you are tagged or hit with a fuzzy ball (shoulders and below), you go down. If you are in possession of the opponent’s flag when you are tagged or hit, the flag must be returned.
• While on the other team’s side, you cannot pick up or throw fuzzy balls.
• You can be saved if your team’s medic tags you or throws you a ball and you catch it.
• Medics cannot cross the midline.
• The flag cannot be passed to a teammate.
• When guarding your flag, you must remain five feet away from the hula-hoop.
• You are safe for 10 seconds when you are inside the other team’s hula-hoop.
