Do you Ga-Ga?
"Ga-ga or GaGa is a form of dodgeball that is thought to have originated in Israel. "Ga" (גע) means "hit" in Hebrew. Along with the racquet sport of Matkot, ga-ga is one of the most popular Israeli folk sports. The game has also gained popularity in English-speaking countries ranging from Great Britain to Australia, especially in Jewish communities. For example, many Jewish American summer camps have special ga-ga arenas or so-called "pits" in which to play."
Those of us who have attended YMCA Camp Weona outside of Buffalo, NY are very familiar with this game. Every time we camped there, we would assemble all of the kids (ages 5 - 16) for a monster ga-ga game in the main Barn. Great fun for the whole family.
