1. No one is ever out in this game, so the rules of dodge ball do not apply.
2. Always throw the ball at the players' feet, unless one of them throws the ball back at you, then you can throw the ball at whatever part of their body that you can hit.
3. If you are supposed to be dodging the ball, feel free to chase the balls down and hand them back to the throwers. (Since no one is ever out in this game, that is acceptable.)
4. If you are the thrower, you can only throw the balls that are your favorite color. If someone else gets the ball that you had, you are allowed to throw a fit until they give you the ball back. There is a chance that you could get put in time out for throwing a fit, but you had the blue ball first.
5. You are allowed to catch the ball and throw it back at a thrower if they hit you with it. Remember, you can hit them anywhere on their body, even though the teachers said only throw it at their feet.
6. If you are good at throwing the ball, feel free to throw it as hard as you can, even though the teacher said to throw it softly. You want everyone to see how good you can throw the ball.
7. If the thrower hits you with the ball and you think they hit you on purpose, you can go tell the teacher that the thrower hit you on purpose.
8. If you are the person mentioned in rule 7, you may throw a fit if the teacher says, "That is the rule of dodge ball. They are supposed to hit you with the ball." Throwing a fit may get you put in time out, but you have to get your point across.
9. If the person you want to hit you with the ball doesn't hit you, then feel free to yell at them and say, "You aren't my friend anymore!"
10. Once you get tired of playing dodge ball, you are allowed to grab one of the balls that are being played with, run off with it, and keep it for yourself.
11. If you see someone following rule 10, feel free to chase them down, tackling them if necessary, to get the ball back.
12. If you get tackled as mentioned in rule 11, then it is okay to push the tackler.
13. If the teacher throws that ball back to you after it has rolled into the field of play, make sure you let the ball hit you, that way the teacher will be playing dodge ball.
14. If you have followed rule 13, then feel free to throw a ball at the teacher. Throw it as hard as you can, teachers never get hurt.
15. You can throw the ball anywhere at the teacher. Be careful, if you hit the teacher in the head or face, the teacher will give you a mean look. You can counteract this look if you give the teacher a sweet smile and say, "Sorry."
16. Be careful because following rule 15 will get you into trouble. The teacher will make the entire class sit down for five minutes and then your friends will be upset with you.
17. Whenever you get tired of playing dodge ball, feel free to go play something else.
18. If you throw a ball and hit someone else, then that person throws a ball at you and hits you, you are allowed to throw a fit. It may get you put in time out, though.
19. The bigger balls hit harder and go father than the small balls.
20. If the teacher isn't looking, tackle one of your friends just for fun.
21. If the teacher catches you following rule 19, tell the teacher, "Well, they took the ball from me and wouldn't give it back."
