Set up
- Roll a pair of socks into a ball and clear a bit of space.
Indoors or garden.
How to play
- Your child throws the sock ball up just above their head.
- They clap once and catch it.
- Next go, try two claps.
- Try throwing with the other hand.
- Throw it to each other and clap before every catch.
Make it easier
Make it harder
- Clap behind your back, or touch your knees before catching.
Three things to say
- Eyes on the sock ball all the way into your hands.
Colts habit
Work hard, one more clap each go.
Both feet
Throw with the other hand too.
Heads up
Watch the ball, not your hands.
Safety: Clear space away from lights, windows and ornaments. Sock balls only indoors.
My best
Most claps before catching. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
