Global Goal 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure
by Becca Todd, United Kingdom
Description
Dodgeball gets a strategic twist! In Dodgeball with a Twist, teams work together to build fortresses and safe zones, protecting themselves from incoming balls. Hit players are sent to "jail," where they must rely on a teammate's throw to be rescued.
How to Play:
Dodge and Build: Dodge incoming balls while collaboratively constructing barriers using cones, goals, or poles within your designated area.
Get hit?: Don't worry! When your teammate catch a ball you escape "jail" and rejoin the action.
Safe Zones (Optional): Add designated areas where players are immune to being hit.
