This is a game that you can play in class when you get bored!
All you need is 2 players, a blank piece of paper, and a dark pen or pencil!

Set Up the Teams

1) Fold the paper in half widthwise (hamburger style).
2) Unfold the paper and let each player choose a side.
3) Each player draws 5 stick figures on his/her side of the paper. These figures make up the dodge-ball team and should be the height of a fingernail.
**Recommendation: spread out your team!

Throw Your Dodgeballs

Players take turns throwing dodgeballs using the following steps: 
1) Fill in a dark dot on your side of the paper about the size of a pea.
2) Fold the paper again along the crease.
3) Press firmly on the back of the paper directly over the dot until some of the ink/lead transfers to the other side, then unfold the paper.
**NOTE If the dot does not successfully transfer, try darkening your dot, using a pen that smears, or pressing harder on the back of the paper.

Eliminate Your Opponents

If the dot touches any part of figure, that figure is eliminated and crossed out.
A team wins when every figure of the opposing team is eliminated!

Vary the Rules

The rules of paper dodge ball are really arbitrary. Players can adjust dot and stick figure size for different challenges. Players could also fold the paper at a slant to increase difficulty, although extreme slants are not recommended because it makes parts of the paper unreachable for the other person. Some example variations are:
      I-Spy: Each player secretly selects one figure on his/her team to be the spy. The game ends when that figure is crossed out.
      Shooting Spree: When a player eliminates an opponent's stick figure, that player gets to take another turn.
      Big-Team: Each team has 15 stick figures.
      Dog-Fight: Figures can be oriented in any direction, not just vertically.
Both players should agree on any variations before starting.
