Gaga Ball is a game where you stand in an octagon. There\u2019s a ball that is thrown in the middle from someone standing outside. On the first bounce you say, \u201cGa,\u201d on the second bounce you say, \u201cGa,\u201d and on the third bounce you say, \u201cBall,\u201d and the game starts. The rules are that you have to hit the ball with a closed fist and send the ball to someone you want to get out. You have to aim at the person\u2019s waist and below.<\/p>\n
