Catching
    Go for the Gold:
  • Students select a partner and toss and catch ten times
  • After this toss and catch, students jog around the gym one lap, then get a different item to toss and catch ten times.
  Move the Mountain:
  • Students select a partner and a ball to toss and catch with
  • One partner is stationary
  • The other partner moves into an open area to catch a pass
  • If the ball is caught, the stationary partner now moves to another spot to catch a pass. Continue like this if successful.
  • If the ball is not caught, both partners do ten jumping jacks, then restart the activity.
  Pass it On:
  • Setup: Four or five spots that are spread out equally from one end line to the other.
  • Students group in threes and choose one item to throw and catch
  • One student stands at the starting line, another student stands a few yards away (a distance they can be successful with)
  • If the pass is successful, the third student in the group runs to the next spot beyond the second student.
  • If the pass is not successful, the thrower must throw again until the pass is completed.
  • Students continue this "leapfrog" pattern until they reach the endline.
  • The "leapfrog" pattern is then continued until the group is returned to their original starting positions.
