Rescue your friend

Rescue your friend is a dodgeball game for two groups of at least six players each.

Equipment

 * markers for the two playing areas
 * a soft ball

Procedure
The teams are standing in facing areas of the playing field. The ball is put into the game. The teams then have to try and shoot each other. Whoever is hit has to leave the playing field. Whenever a player of his own team catches a ball (having been thrown by an enemy player), one player of the team may continue to participate (the one that has been out of the game for the longest time).

When a team lost all his players, the other team wins the game.

Variation

 * You can also try to play this game on only one playing field. All participants may move around freely, but the person carrying the ball may only attack or pass on the ball (but not move).

Similar games

 * dodgeball with memory and killer ball are quite similar.
