Captain Ball
Captain Ball
Active, Ball, Team
Time - Short (5 minutes)
Group Size - Any
Equipment Needed - number of balls equal to the number of teams needed
Split the group into even teams of between 5 and 8. Each team will need a ball (medium sized plastic balls work best)
The first person in each team will stand a few metres away from the rest of their team, facing their team with the ball. The rest of the team stands in a straight line.
The captain must throw the ball to each member of their team, with each person ducking down as they throw the ball back to the captain. Once the ball gets to the person at the back, they run to the front and become the captain. The old captain joins the front of the line.
This continues until the initial captain gets back to the front.
Variation
A tennis ball can also be used with increased distances between the captain and the team
