Category: Motor Skills · Duration: ~7 min

Materials

• soft ball
• laundry basket

1. Set a laundry basket on the floor or on a low chair. 2. Stand three steps away. "Can you shoot it in?" 3. Show them: hold the ball with both hands, push up and forward. 4. Count makes and misses. No pressure — every miss is practice. 5. Move closer or farther to adjust difficulty. "Swoosh! Nothing but basket!"
