Bounce and Catch
Learning Outcomes
This activity develops hand-eye coordination, as well as fine motor control of the hands and fingers.
Description Of Activity
Show your child how to drop a ball, let it bounce once, and then catch it.
Encourage your child to drop and catch the ball many times in a row.
Let your child try different sizes of balls, and start with balls that are easier to catch (e.g. larger balls).
If it helps, children with physical disabilities can sit down while bouncing and catching, so their hands are free to catch.
Equipment/Material Required
- 2-3 different bouncy balls (e.g. large inflated bouncy ball, tennis ball, solid rubber ball)
