How to Play: Locate an area inside or outside where this game can be played. There should be enough room for the two players to stand several feet apart.
To begin, the two players will practice throwing and catching a large ball. Instruct your student to throw the ball underhand to his partner. His partner will then throw the ball back to him in the same fashion. Have the players continue throwing and catching for several minutes.
Next, the players will practice throwing and catching a tennis ball. Using a smaller ball will increase the challenge of this activity. Instruct your student to throw the ball underhand to his partner. His partner will then throw the ball back to him in the same fashion. Make sure that your student is comfortable with both throwing and catching the tennis ball before moving on to the next activity.
Each player needs a large spoon, and each group of two players needs a ping-pong ball. One of the players starts with the ping-pong ball balanced on his spoon. He then tosses it to the other player, who in turn catches the ping-pong ball on his spoon. The object of this game is to pass the ball back and forth without dropping it off the spoons.
Thank you Katie for passing a long this game.
