CATCH DON’T CATCH
Why not try this fun catching game with someone at home 😊
1.Players stand in a circle with their arms crossed
2.One player in the middle throws a ball to someone in the circle saying “catch or don’t catch”
3.If they say “catch” the player should NOT catch and NOT move arms
4.If they say “Don’t catch” the player SHOULD catch and move arms
5.If the player does the wrong thing or misses the ball, they are out!
