Grade Level: K-2, 3-5

Place a large number of balls all around the playing area. Instruct players that they are to try to successfully roll and catch a ball with every other person in the class. If the students are excelling at rolling, then the task can be made more difficult by having the the students throw the ball underhand towards each other. Have players sit down when they think they are done. Set a time limit and play again.
