INSTRUCTIONS

1. On ‘go’ the child with the ball must throw the ball in the air towards the wall.

2. Once the ball rebounds off the wall, another child should attempt to catch the ball.

3. .After they catch the ball, the next child should now throw the ball back against the wall.  The pattern changes when a child misses the ball.

4. Once a child misses the ball, they must quickly run to the wall before another child picks up the ball and throws it to the wall.  If the ball beats the runner to the wall, the child who threw the ball will receive a point.

5. Once a point is rewarded, the game resumes again.

Allow the children to catch a ball on as many bounces as they would like.
