Two Foam Balls

Instructions

Split the group into two teams

Split the hall into two by using a large rope and place down the middle of the room

Send one team to each half of the hall

To start each team must be touching the wall furthest away from the centre line
Two balls are thrown into play and the children can run to get the balls

The object is to throw the ball at your opposing team while dodging any balls thrown at you

Should a ball hit a player then the player is out
Should the ball hit the ground or wall before hitting the player then this is invalid and the player is still in
Should a player catch the ball before it has hit the ground or them then the player who threw the ball is out.
No moving allowed once ball is in a team members hand otherwise they are out
Teamwork is encouraged with communication being the focal point
Once an opponent on the other team is out the first player out on the other team can join back in this can go on until the final match of dodgeball when a player is declared out they are out.
Should a player cross or stand on the middle line then they are out
If the players are taking too long holding the ball then a time limit of 10 seconds to throw the ball can be imposed

The winning team is the one who manages to get all their opponents out.
As multiple games can be played when each team both have the exact amount of wins this is when the new rule of once a team member is out they remain out.
