Instructions
- Gather the group in a circle.
- Say, "Today we will play a game called Pass It! I'll throw a ball to someone in our circle and announce what to do with it (e.g., pass behind your back, pass to every other player, move closer together, move farther apart). Follow my instruction, and then pass the ball to someone else in the circle who will also do that action. Listen up, because I'll change the instructions, and whoever has the ball when I call the new instruction will have to adapt."
- Ask, "Does anyone have any questions?"
- Say, "Ready? Go!"
- Throw a ball to someone in the circle and shout out your instruction.
- Supervise as youth pass the ball to others and follow your instructions."
- After about a minute, shout out a new instruciton.
- Continue game play with new instructions.
- If desired, add in a second ball to increase difficulty.
