Youth Ministry Games : David & Goliath Dodgeball

1. David & Goliath Dodgeball Submitted by: on January 18, 2000
Materials: ball
Messy Rating: No Sweat     Duration: 5-20 minutes    Cost: $0.00

Dodgeball rules apply...2 teams, one on each end of the playing area. 2 balls, heavy enough to throw a considerable distance but light enough that it won't hurt to get hit in the face or head. Balls are set in the middle of the 2 teams (this middle is also the boundary that the teams can't cross to the opposing side of). At least one referee is needed to call the game. Ref yells "Go!", players race for the balls and try to hit the opposing team members. The ball must hit the opponent before hitting anything else. A hit player is out for the round. If a player being thrown at catches the ball before it hits anything else, the thrower is out for the round. Sound familiar, okay here's the twist:
Prior to each round, each team designates a secret "Goliath" for that round. They only tell the referee(s) NOT their opposing team. At any time a secret "Goliath", is made out, buy being hit or having their thrown ball caught, the whole team goes down and the round is over.

Dodgeball is fun enough. But this extra twist is fun as the kids try to guess who their opposing "Goliath" is and go for them. Also, "Quick Rounds" get a winning team pumped...when they get their opposing "Goliath" right away.
