Exercise Blue 04

Equipment
3 small balls (juggling balls?)	Stopwatch

Time Limit	Area Required	Preparation Time
15 minutes	Small/ Indoor	2 minutes

The team forms a circle. A Ball is given to a team member who then throws it to another member at random in the circle, but must call the name of the recipient before throwing it. That person then throws it to another saying their name. The team continue to pass the ball until everyone has touched it, when it should be passed back to the person it originated from.
The sequence is again repeated to build a net sequence from one to another to another trying to remember who you sent it to last time. / This event is timed.
Then add a second ball, immediately after the first and time it again. / Then a third ball. And time the event again. / Then ask the team to halve the time it takes.
Then halve it again.
The final attempt CAN be done in less than 1 second, but give them 2 seconds.

Three Balls

Exercise Blue 04

Form a Circle. / One of you will start off with a ball. You are to pass the ball so that eventually everyone in the team has touched the ball, and it is back where it started from. / Before passing the ball you must call the name of the person it is intended for. / Practice that.
Go through the exercise again, but this time against the clock. / Now go through the same exercise but with TWO BALLS. / Now again against the clock. / How do the times compare. Why?
Now practice the same event, but with three balls. / Now against the clock again. How do these events compare? Why? / I would now like you to arrange for the task to be completed with the three balls, but in only half as much time. / I want you to arrange so that it will take only HALF as long again.
