Objective
The objective is to have all of the children comfortable catching and throwing
a ball.
Standards Included
Standards for 3 and 4 year olds include being able to catch a large ball, and
throw a ball overheard.
Materials
Soft balls of various sizes, from baseball size to beach ball size. Paper shapes
and tape.
Introduction
I would have this activity outside in a grassy area, I would let the kids run and
kick and throw for a few minutes upon coming outside before giving
instruction, to get their wiggles out.
Lesson Development
I would have one station where children can throw their ball at paper shapes
taped to the outside of the building. One station where we can play hot potato,
tossing the ball around in a circle. One station with the children playing catch
with a teacher.
Children with physical disabilities or vision impairment may have trouble with
this activity. Balls can also be played with while seated, rolled around slowly,
or simply held.
The station with one teacher playing catch with one student will be rotating,
each student will be assessment via this game. The teacher will throw the ball
softly to the child, see if they can catch it. The child then can throw the ball
back to the teacher overhead. The teacher can make note of each childs ability.

Closing
Children love to clean up when it is fun, so we will crazy clean and run to
clean up all the balls and bring them to the teacher as transition to our next
activity.
