How to run it

  1. Form a circle, with people standing up to a metre (3′) apart.
  2. Starting and finishing with the same person, establish a pattern of tossing a ball within the circle so that every person tosses and receives the ball once.
  3. Repeat this sequence of tosses several times to establish the pattern.
  4. Challenge your group to pass the ball in this sequence as fast as possible, meeting three key parameters:
  5. - The ball passing starts and ends with the same person;
  6. - The ball must be passed in the same sequence every time; and
  7. - Every person must be responsible for passing the ball.
  8. Allow ample time for discussion, planning and trial-and-error.
