Leslie's tetherball and Gaga


Uber-fun idea from Leslie - to turn the tetherball into a J. And I even have an off-topic that relates to games for kids. The tiny dots of red are really nice - because she ended up with 3 sizes of red dots - and that's a good use of the design principle: scale.

  Here is a fun new game that I had not heard about. Grandson, Ben, has been playing it at his summer day camp. Gaga. Gaga is a fast paced, high energy sport played in an octagonal pit. The more players the better! Dubbed a kinder gentler version of dodge ball, the game is played with a soft foam ball, and combines the skills of dodging, striking, running, and jumping, while trying to hit opponents with a ball below the knees. Players need to keep moving to avoid getting hit by the ball. Fun and easy, everyone gets a serious workout.

Nanna might have to recruit some other kids to play if I build a Gaga pit for the grandkids visit next year. 

Here is a website with all the rules for anyone looking for activities for rambunctious kids.

Maybe I should start thinking of a way to tailor it for elderly people for when I end up in senior living facility.
