  •  2-3 different colored balls

Instructions

  • Let’s stand facing each other with some space in between us. We’re going to play catch with these balls. Our goal is to keep the balls moving for as long as possible.
  • First, let’s discuss the rules of the game: The first ball can ONLY roll. When we pass it back and forth, we’ll have to ROLL it. The second ball can ONLY bounce. If we’re using 3 balls, the third can only be tossed.
  • We’re ready to play! Let’s start by rolling the first ball. Then, let’s introduce the second ball that bounces while we keep rolling the first ball. Can we pass both balls back and forth simultaneously without making a mistake? Remember, our goal is to keep going as long as we can. Let’s work together to beat our record.
