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.
