Pass the ball
K-3
Big Idea
Students will work together as a team to pass the ball around the circle only using their feet and not allowing the ball to fall to the ground.
Directions
1.Have students sit close to each other in a circle with their legs out.
2. Tell them they will have to work together to pass around a ball without using their hands and only their feet.
3. The goal is to get the ball all the around the circle without it touching the ground.
When to use
This is a great community building activity that is fun and engaging. It can be used right after coming back from a break or beginning of the year activity. It's also a great activity that promotes teamwork and a good brain break.
Strategy Variations
- Instead of doing it in one large group break up into smaller teams
- Use different size balls to make more or less challenging
- Have kids lay flat on the floor with legs up along a wall and pass the ball between feet
