Silent Ball
Throw a soft ball around the room. Anyone who makes a sound is out.
The rare game that is genuinely active and genuinely quiet, which makes it perfect for flats and phone calls.
ما تحتاجه
- a soft ball or rolled up socks
طريقة التنفيذ
- Everyone stands or sits in a loose circle.
- Throw the ball gently to another player.
- Anyone who speaks, laughs out loud, or drops a good throw sits down.
- A bad throw puts the thrower out, not the catcher.
- Last one standing starts the next round.
لماذا هذا مفيد لهم
Staying silent while doing something exciting is difficult and useful inhibitory practice. The rule that a bad throw puts the thrower out is worth keeping, because it makes children responsible for the quality of what they send rather than blaming the catcher.
