Every family needs to spend quality time together, but this is often easier said than done. Younger kids can’t typically participate in the same games as the older kids, and parents are rarely excited to try the same types of activities that their kids are begging for.
Board games can be fun, but they’re either far too simple for older kids or far too complicated for younger kids. Outside games like four-square and paintball are great for pre-teens and their parents, but what will the little ones do while everyone else is having fun?
Here at Octopit, we’re on a mission to introduce families all across America to a new game that’s guaranteed to please parents and kids of all shapes and sizes. It’s called Gaga Ball! Invented for kids, by kids, this game is taking the world by storm. It’s a great way to get physical exercise, build up motor skills that are useful in organized sports and at school, and bring the entire family together for a fun game that’s challenging and rewarding!
Play With Many People, Or Just A Few
One of the great things about playing gaga ball is that it’s designed to accommodate as many people as you happen to have hanging around. Is it only you and your son? Great! Gaga ball still works. Are you hosting a birthday party of 12 kids or more? No worries, just tell everyone to hop into the gaga ball pit and start playing.
Make It Harder With Two Balls
Has your entire family become gaga ball experts? If you’re looking for a way to increase the difficulty of the game, try adding another ball! This makes it possible for two people to be striking at one time, meaning players have to keep their head on a swivel to avoid getting “out”! Trying making one ball big while one ball is smaller to really keep all the players on their toes!
Choose A Smaller Octopit For Greatest Difficulty
Another thing that can up the difficulty level of your gaga games is to shrink the size of your Octopit. A standard Octopit has rails that are eight feet long. This results in an octagon shaped pit that’s 20 feet long from rail to rail and 22 feet from corner to corner. Want to make things more challenging? Simply request a customized Octopit that brings everyone closer together.
