One Bounce to My Partner

🏠 Do together

1. Bounce beside me

   You need: A large soft ball, or a whole sock

   From a steady seated or standing position, gently bounce the ball beside you and catch it with both hands. An adult can help. If bouncing is difficult, roll it beside you instead. Name its position and keep the movement slow.

2. Ready for one bounce

   You need: The ball or sock and a clear space

   Face each other close enough for a gentle pass. Wait for ready hands, then bounce the ball once on the floor between you towards your partner. Let them gather it against their body. Use a roll instead if preferred. Swap sender and receiver.

3. Choose a useful distance

   You need: The same clear space and ball or sock

   Discuss whether the ball bounced between you or beside your partner. Move closer, or try a gentler send, changing one thing at a time. Try again only when both are ready. Describe which position made the pass easier; no score is needed.
