Catch the ball
Throw the ball around and answer the question at the front of the ball.
The ball holds task cards, so there is always one question visible at the front. The pupils stand in a circle in groups and throw the ball to each other. Whoever catches the ball answers the question at the front and then throws the ball on.

How Catch the ball works
Print the task cards. The question alone is enough.
Slide the cards into the pockets of one or more balls.
The pupils stand in a circle in groups of four or five and throw the ball to each other.
Whoever catches the ball answers the question at the front and then throws the ball on.
Tip
Have more than one ball? Then several groups can practise at the same time.
