This may sound like a dumb question, but I want to order a ball online, as the one my daughter likes is a little deflated - but I don’t know what the ball is called! Just the regular type that you bounce and play games with... not a basketball, not a soccer ball... you know, the type you get at five below. That all the girls play with 😬😬😬

Thank you! Btw when I searched dodgeball, a few balls came up that are called playground balls - apparently that’s what I’m looking for Smile

But that's the way we pronounced it when we threw up the ball. Lol

Machanayim, elimination, and dodge ball are three different game - oh wait - just saw the original spelling - I thought you were saying machanayim was called elimination!

Didn’t order yet because I need to double check the size. Five below will ship it deflated + shipping so it’s not really worth it imo. Amazon has for under $10. But I might have to spend more to get the right color Very Happy

Slightly off topic, what basketball would you recommend for a 9 year old that is slowly getting into the game. There are so many different options (links please)
