In lockdown, there's much less to do, and more time to fill, so dodgeball tournaments, once a thing of the past, are now making a comeback. Multiple tournaments, friendly and competitive (competing for chocolate) have taken place in the last week. 13 balls have been conscripted for dodgeball use; 4 are basketball size, 5 are tennis ball size, and 4 are in between. Of these, 2 are irregular. Alright, I should probably explain how the game works now. Here goes: you get a trampoline with a net, you get a bunch of balls and chuck them on the trampoline, you get on the trampoline yourself, you decide on the number of lives (3 or 5 is good) and you start jumping around. If you get hit, subtract one life. See how long you can survive! Try find as many balls as you can. Also vary ball sizes as each ball is affected differently by the force of your jump. Have fun! This afternoon, I'm having a face-off against my older sister. It's basketball dodge- a variation of dodgeball. To play, you'll need a hoop(see inset) The way it works is: you decide on a "basketball" Then, in game, if you have lost lives, if the "basketball" is above knee height, then if you catch it, you can take a shot. If the basketball goes through the hoop, then you get +1 life! Try make your own variations and share them with me. Take risks and play hard!
