12–50 players · about 15 minutes · Run around · Gym, Outdoors
What you need
- 4–8 soft foam dodgeballs
- Tape or cones for a center line and two "prison" zones
Setup
Mark a center line, plus a narrow prison strip behind each team's back line. Split into two teams.
How to play
- Play dodgeball across the center line.
- When you're hit, walk to the prison behind the OTHER team.
- Prisoners can still catch stray balls and throw at the other team from behind them.
- Hit someone from prison and you're free: walk back to your own side.
How to win
A team wins when everyone on the other team is in prison.
Leader tips
- The crossfire from prison makes this game wild. Teams have to watch both directions.
Safety: Soft foam balls only. No head shots.
Ways to change it up
Jailbreak
If a player throws a ball all the way into their own prison and a prisoner catches it, everyone in that prison goes free.
