Toss!  
Submitted by: Elem ALT team
Outline: Students race to catch a ball based upon a color given.
 
Teaching Suggestions:
  • For larger classes, make more than one circle.
  • Make sure all colors are called to avoid students feeling left out.

 

Procedure:
  1. Have students stand or sit in a circle.  Each student receives a color, making sure at least two or three students have the same color.
  2. Stand in center of the circle and call out a color, then toss the ball into the air.  The students who are assigned that color must race to catch the ball. The student who catches the ball is the next color-caller and ball-tosser.
