POPCORN!

Supplies:

Ball or soft throwable object

Open area preferably with a high ceiling. (Playing outside works great, too!)

 How to Play 

One person starts the game by throwing the ball in the air, clapping one time, and then catching the ball.

Once you’ve tried it one time, pass the ball to the person next person until everyone has had a chance.

If you drop the ball or don’t clap the correct number of times, you were unsuccessful and that’s okay.

When it gets back to the first person, check in with everyone. If you successfully clapped and caught the ball, move up to Level Two. If you were unsuccessful, stay on Level One.

Level Two means that you’ll try to clap two times before catching the ball. Level Three means three claps, Level Four means four claps, and so on.

If you’re unsuccessful, stay on the same level and try again when the ball makes it back to you.
