Game description
For this game, you will need a smooth wall or any other vertical surface. (Blackboard, door, etc. will do). Now, using a bouncing ball, the ball is thrown from a 4-5m distance, in a way, so that the ball bounces once on the ground then to the wall and when it bounces off from here, the objective is to catch the ball with one’s hands.
Option
Option 1: There is a certain area which the ball is not supposed to touch. Option 2: The bouncing ball is not allowed to touch the ground but has to bounce off the ball and then the candidate tries to catch it. Option 3: Play it as a team game. Kids pair up in teams of twos. The first kid throws the ball; the other one catches it. For the next round, the positions are changed.
Judging
Everyone gets 10 attempts. For every ball you catch, you score one point.
