Gaga Ball

GaGa Ball!

Gaga is a variant of dodgeball that is played in a gaga "pit". The game combines dodging, striking, running, and jumping, with the objective of being the last person standing. Players hit the ball at each other with their hands, and are eliminated if the ball strikes them on or below the knee.

How to Play Gaga Ball?

Gaga ball is a fun game that both kids and adults love playing. The game takes place in a gaga ball pit, which is an enclosed special area with walls. Players begin by standing around the edges of the pit. Somebody in the middle drops the ball and everyone shouts "Ga!" three times as the ball bounces. After repeating the "Ga" three times, it's game time!

The goal is to hit other players below the knee with the ball while avoiding getting hit yourself. You must use only your hands to hit the ball. If the ball touches you below the knee, you're out. The game ends when there is only one player left. You can hit the ball more than once, but you can’t hold or catch it. Gaga ball combines dodgeball and handball into one fun activity. It's perfect for camps, schools, playgrounds, and backyard parties!

What Equipment Do I Need for the Gaga Ball?

Gaga ball is an easy game to start playing. The centerpiece is the gaga ball pit. This octagonal or hexagonal enclosure has walls of about waist height for kids. Gaga ball pits that are portable and set up anywhere can be purchased. There are permanent pits at some schools and parks that are made of wood or plastic.

Next, you need a ball to play with. A traditional gaga ball is best, but you may also use other soft balls. Some people use omnikin balls for a different kind of battle. Omnikin balls used in this KC32 game are of larger and lighter size, implying different pace of the game. Others use water balls, or foam balls for younger players. These softer alternatives are more suitable for smaller kids.

The playing surface should be flat and clear of obstacles. Grass, gym floors, or playground surfaces all work well. Make sure the area inside the gaga ball pit is clean and safe.
