When someone is hit below the knee, they must sit. The secret Doctor can touch the injured and bring them back into play. Once the Doctor is hit, the team’s only hope is their skill.

Hint: Players shouldn’t jump up as soon as they have been touched as this will give away the doctor.

Protect the Pin

The children will be split into two teams. Each team will have four pins/balls on cones at the back of their side.

The aim is to knock down the other team’s cones whilst protecting your own cones.

Dungeon Dodgeball
