Heading 1
-Objective:
To most quickly pass a ball around a circle to the start of the circle.
-Equipment List:
-
Up to one ball per player
-Equipment Link:
-Setting Up:
-
Players stand in a circle with an even number of players--every second player is on the same team.
-
One player from each team (standing beside each other) each hold a different coloured ball.
-Instructions:
-
On the signal to start, the player on the right tosses the ball to a the next teammate clocking counter-clockwise, while the other team tosses the ball to the next teammate in a clockwise direction.
-
The team that does it the quickest is the winner.
-
Using all of the same coloured balls add one, then two, then... more balls, and see which team can do it the fastest. If a ball is dropped it must be picked up and thrown--the leaders' balls cannot pass a ball that is on the floor.

Variation:

Have several circles on their own but intersecting each other.
