-Mise en place:

  • Players stand in a circle, facing the middle, at least one pace apart. The farther apart players stand from each other, the more difficult the game is.

  • Give one player a stability ball.

-Instructions:

  • On your signal to begin, the first player tosses the ball to the player next to her.

  • Have the groups count each time they are successful at moving the ball around the circle.

  • If the ball falls on the ground, one of the players retrieves the ball, and the group begins counting successive circles again from zero.

  • At the end of the time limit (one or two minutes), have the groups announce the highest number of successive circles they made

-Questions et notes:

  • Tips and Variations

    • Double Watermelon Toss:

      • Played the same as Watermelon Toss except that groups use two stability balls.

    • Increase the distance players stand apart (possibly add one bounce to each pass).

    • Use a BallastTM Ball which makes catching more challenging.
