Wall Ball

Materials

• Tennis ball
• Wall

Directions

This is a game for one or two players. The idea is to throw and catch the ball according to a sequence of tasks. When you miss, you lose your turn and have to start all over the next time. Here are some tasks:

• Meensies: Throw the ball and catch it before it bounces—10 times
• Onesies: Throw the ball and catch it after one bounce—9 times
• Clapsies: Throw the ball and clap hands before you catch it—8 times
• Kneesies: Throw the ball and touch your knees before catching it—7 times
• Twosies: Throw the ball and catch it after two bounces—6 times
• Under the knee: Lift your leg and throw the ball under the knee before catching it—5 times
• Highsies: Throw the ball as high as you can before catching it—4 times
• Touch the ground: Throw the ball and catch it after touching the ground—2 times
• Turn around: Throw the ball and catch it after turning completely around—1 time

Note: After going through the sequence without missing, go through again using the right hand only, then with the left hand only.
