MAD EAGLE

The aim is for the group to keep the ball in the air by hitting it with an open palm.

The ball cannot be hit twice in a row by the same person.

Each hit counts as one point but if the ball hits the ground the counting restarts.

Set point goals for the students to achieve and encourage counting of the score out loud.

EQUIPMENT: Gatorskin Ball or equivalent, Beach Balls are great!

AREA REQUIRED: Any area indoors or out.

HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

Use as much freedom (allowing) or control (structure and rules) as you need to with the group you have and in line with your intentions for the activity.

Guide the reflection/discussion, be careful not to control it.

HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY

Allow the ball to have one bounce, counting restarts only after the ball has bounced twice.

Allow individual students to touch the ball two or three times in a row before passing to someone else, this is handy for younger students as it allows them to gain some control over the ball.

Allow other parts of the body to be used to keep the ball off the ground, not just palms.

Measure time rather than 'hits'.

Try smaller and/or larger groups.

Extra 'points' for using a head or a knee to keep the ball up.

Indoors have the students sitting or kneeling rather than standing.
