Dodgeball and Tissue Snatch Games
Dodgeball Game:
●
●
One team starts on opposing side of a court.
The other team stay in the middle of two
lines. Players from each team race to
retrieve them at the start of the game.
A game then proceeds with both sets of
players trying to take the opposition’s
players out of the game, by striking them
with a ball they have thrown before it
bounces, or by catching a ball thrown by an
opponent – a successful catch also allows
the defending team to regain a player that
has previously been taken out of the game.
Tissue Snatch Game:
●
●
Tissue Snatch is played between the two
groups having equal amount of players.
Teams, leaving 20 – 25 meters of distance in
between, line in parties. 50 cm diameter of a
circle is drawn in the middle of the distance
and a tissue or another material is put on the
middle of the circle.
When the referee/captain shouts like
“fifths”, the fifth players of the teams run to
snatch the tissue/material, the player who
gets the tissue/material runs away and the
other tries to catch him/her.
