Dodgeball

Dodgeball, the ultimate childhood battle royale! Who knew pelting your friends with rubber balls would come to define a generation? It’s a chaotic mix of strategy and blind panic where the timid become warriors, and the overzealous kids learn dodging is an art form—and not just for the artsy kids. You can’t help but love the moment someone gets walloped in the face, only to dramatically throw themselves on the gym floor like they just got hit by a truck. It’s a game that’s part therapy, part gladiatorial fight, and 100% a rite of passage that haunts your dreams and scars your friendships. Seriously though, if you think dodgeball isn’t a contender in the Greatest Childhood Games of All Time, you need to rethink your entire childhood—preferably from a safe distance behind a gym bleacher.
