A Ball

It is round, light, and colorful.

You will touch it and pick it up.

You will toss it, catch it, hold it.

Find a friend

Toss it back and forth, keep your eye on it!

Now-

Maybe the ball has texture?

You can bounce it, dribble it, pass it.

Now-

Maybe the ball is not round, but oval?

You can kick it, throw it, catch it.

Now-

Maybe the ball is hard and heavy?

You can aim it, steady it, roll it.

Now-

Maybe the ball is medium hard?

You can hit it, throw it, catch it.

Now-

Maybe the ball is medium soft?

You can serve it, forehand it, drop shot it.

Now-

Maybe the ball is really small?

You can high-bounce it, wall it, grab it.

Maybe the ball is used in sports?

Find a team

And have some fun today!

Are we talking beach ball, basketball, football, bowling ball, baseball,

 tennis ball, super ball and all others?

Yes, let’s play!
