Play with Balls on a Slope

Objective

In this activity, the children practise catching/receiving and throwing a ball. The children also practise taking turns.

Instructions

  1. Find a slope.
  2. The adult stands at the bottom of the slope, whilst the children are at the top.
  3. The adult kicks the ball up the hill to the children standing at the top. The children now practise receiving/catching the ball and then throw the ball down again to the adult.

Tips

  • The adult can say the name of the child who will be catching the ball, so the children practise taking turns.
