Machanayim (Hebrew: מַחֲנַיִם, also spelled Machanaim) is a game similar to dodgeball that is frequently played in North American Jewish schools and summer camps.
Game Play: Players are divided into two encampments and the room is split in two with the teams facing each other.
Ball Types: Almost any spherical mass can be used to play Machanayim, the only rule being that it must be easily catchable by most players.
Machanayim is similar to the German or Austrian variant of dodge ball called Völkerball.
In secular Yiddish speaking camps such as SKIF, the game is called Tzvey-fayern ("Two shoot").
