Scatter Dodgeball: Coop’s Scatter Dodgeball keeps the fun of dodgeball but takes the sting out of the game. The game, for ages 5 and older, uses a soft foam ball. Players wear colored wristbands, and if they get tagged by a ball they have to surrender one of the bands, but if they catch the ball, the thrower loses a wristband. First player to get all the wristbands wins. $19.99. Ages 5 and older. coop-sports.com.
