Dodge ball game

DODGE BALL GAME Dodge ball game was one of the most favourite children’s team games in Poland. They loved playing it during P.E. lessons as well as in their spare time. To play Dodge Ball you need a ball and a pitch or a field where a pitch can be drown. Children are divided into two teams. Each team chooses one player who is called “a king”. The king stands on the opposite edge of the pitch than his team. The aim of the game is to throw the ball at members of the opposing team in order to eliminate the players. The players can be knocked out either by the king or by the members of his team. You have to be careful not to be hit by the members of the opposite team. You can jump or escape into the farthest corner of your pitch, trying not to cross the border line. If a player is hit or touched with the ball thrown by a member of the opposite team, he or she stands next to his or her king and helps him to intensify their “fire”. If the ball is out no one is allowed to run for it.

It is taken by the king who is the closest to it. If all the players are eliminated, the king goes on the pitch. The rules say that he can be hit with the ball three times. The winner is the team which first eliminates all the players together with their king.
