Activity Form kids into circles of 10-20 people. Ask each group to sit in a circle. Explain that you're going to toss the ball to someone across the circle. CreativeHolidayIdeas.com
Continue tossing until everyone in the circle has had a chance to catch and toss the ball. Repeat the pattern, catching and tossing to the same people as before. But this time, ask kids to each say one thing they really "love" (basketball, skateboarding, trench fries, movies, and so on) before they toss the ball to someone else. CreativeHolidayIdeas.com
7. On the third round, repeat the catch-and-toss pattern, this time asking kids to each say one thing they really love about the person they're tossing the ball to (this will probably be much harder than the previous round). CreativeHolidayIdeas.com
