This is a great game to learn names, get kids moving, and have a lot fun. It's also simple to do. Just buy a small ball. (I got one with a picture of a dog on it, but you can always get a plain one.) Write several tasks on the ball:
Throw Under Your Leg
Sing
Wicked Laugh
Roll the Ball
Close Your Eyes
Stand on One Leg
First, pick someone to start the game. This person will say his/her name and read the task on the ball. If it says, "Close Your Eyes", the person will close his/her eyes and throw the ball to someone. If no one catches the ball, it goes to the person closest to it.
Because the ball I purchased has a dog on it, if the ball lands with the dog face up, the person has to make an animal sound. Fun, right?
This is a great game for introducing a new group of kids and breaking the ice. Plus it is pretty funny to watch!
