Gaga Ball Rules…new playground game: (rules may vary some but this is the general idea of the game)

 

• All players start with one hand touching a wall of the pit.
• When the ball enters the pit, the players scream ‘GA’ for the first two bounces, and ‘GO’ on the third bounce, after which the ball is in action.
• Once the ball is in play, any player can hit the ball with an open or closed hand.
• If a ball touches a player below the knee (even if the player hits himself or herself) he or she is out and leaves the pit. If a player is hit above the knees, the play continues.
• If a ball is caught on a fly, the player who hit the ball is out.
• When a player is out, he/she will leave the pit.
• Do no sit or stand on the wall.
• Players cannot hold the ball.
• You can bounce the ball off the wall to get someone out.
• Last player standing is the winner of that round.
