-Setting Up:
-
Players lie in a circle in alternating directions (i.e., every other player lies with her feet inside the circle and the others lie with their feet outside the circle).
-
Players put their hands up.
-
Position a stability ball on the hands of two of the players.
-Instructions:
-
On your signal to begin, the players begin to move the ball around the circle of hands.
-
Have the groups count each time they are successful at moving the ball around the circle.
-
If the ball falls off the hands, 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.

Straight Moving Sidewalk:
-
Played the same as Moving Sidewalk except that players lie in a straight line rather than in a circle and move to the end of the line once they have passed the ball. Players measure how far the line can move without losing the ball.
-
Groups will learn that they will experience greater success with a steady, controlled pace than with an out-of-control, fast pace.
