A long, strong rope is used, with a central mark (usually a ribbon or handkerchief) indicating the halfway point, a line is drawn on the ground that corresponds to the center of the field. Two additional lines are drawn at equal distances from the center, one for each team. Teams stand on opposite sides of the <strong>rope<\/strong>, with players lined up behind each other and holding the rope with both hands.

You choose an open area and mark a halfway line. At some distance from the center line, the bases of the two <strong>teams<\/strong> are marked. Any handkerchief or cloth is used, which will be placed in the center of the halfway line. The two teams line up parallel behind their respective bases, with each player in numerical order. A referee or neutral player calls a number. The two players with that number, one for each team, run to the center to get the <strong>handkerchief<\/strong>. The player who manages to take the handkerchief must try to return to their base without being touched by the opponent. If it is touched by the opponent before reaching its base, it is eliminated and the point goes to the opposing team.

Sometimes players pretend to take the handkerchief to trick the opponent and wait for the right moment to grab it. Teams need to coordinate and strategize, such as deciding who to call for each turn based on the <strong>players<\/strong>&#8216; strengths. The <strong>handkerchief <\/strong> game is a simple game very suitable for <strong>team building<\/strong> and outdoor days that promotes physical activity, <strong>team spirit <\/strong> and healthy <strong>competition<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-67c60e9 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-id=\"67c60e9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d532e4b\" data-id=\"d532e4b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3778130 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3778130\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The <strong>game of poison ball<\/strong> is a classic <strong>group game<\/strong> that combines skill, speed, and strategy. It is a popular activity among children, often played outdoors, in schoolyards or parks but it is also a beautiful game for adults. It is also known as &#8220;<strong>dodgeball<\/strong>&#8221; in English and has different variations depending on the regions. The <strong>game<\/strong> can be played by a minimum of 6 players up to larger groups, divided into two <strong>teams<\/strong> of equal number. A light <strong>ball<\/strong>, often made of rubber, is used that is soft enough not to cause injury. A rectangular playing field is demarcated, with a central line dividing the two sides. Each team positions itself on its own side of the field. Teams position themselves on their respective sides of the field. The <strong>ball <\/strong> is placed on the center line or thrown into the air to start the game. The goal is to hit the opposing players with the ball. A player hit must leave the field of play (or go to a &#8220;<strong>prison<\/strong>&#8221; area at the side of the field). Players can throw the ball at opponents and dodge throws from the opposing team. A player hit by a ball thrown by opponents is eliminated. If a player catches the ball thrown by the opponent on the fly, the player who threw the ball is eliminated and an eliminated teammate can re-enter the game. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9f4466f\" data-id=\"9f4466f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a3b5f2 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3a3b5f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building-1024x683.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building.jpg 2048w\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13369 lazyload\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13369\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sorprendimiumbria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/dodge_ball_game_of_the_past_team_building.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-388b580 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"388b580\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-789391e\" data-id=\"789391e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a794fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3a794fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Players must move continuously to avoid being easy targets.
