Dr. Dodgeball is a fun dodging and fleeing game. Students are divided into two teams. The half court line on the basketball court separates the two teams. Students may not cross the line for any reason. The goal is to eliminate all of the players on the other team by hitting them with dodgeballs. When a student is hit with a dodgeball they sit down right where they got hit. Each team is given 1 doctor. The doctor may get others back into the game. The doctor carries a scooter at all times. When the doctor sees a student sitting on the ground, he or she must save them by getting them on the scooter and rolling them back to the safe area (for you to be determined- usually behind the basketball baseline). Once the student is rolled back to the safe area they are free to rejoin the game and the doctor can go save someone else. If the doctor is hit with a dodgeball he or she is out for the remainder of the game. Play until either everyone is eliminated or a mercy rule is called (when students appear to have given up). When the game is over pick a new doctor and play again.
EQUIPMENT: dodgeballs, 2 scooters, may need floor tape to make a safe area.
MODIFICATIONS: rotate between a boy doctor and a girl doctor. Let each team have 2 doctors.
AGES: 5th grade and up
