Bounce - 2 Ball- To Self - 3/4 Time
About:
Bouncing balls adds to the sensory integration because of the sound of the ball, the visual passage of the ball, and the movement in the body all help to organize the brain into a better sense of time and place.
I have found this particularly helps people who are anxious to feel more safe and grounded.
Purpose:
Calm Attention
Hand eye coordination
Develop sense of timing.
Increase hand and finger dexterity
Continuous
Directions:
Bounce 1 ball. Catch it. Bounce the other ball. Catch it.
Feel the whole bodies alignment as you go from one ball to the other.
Glitches:
- Ball is being caught as it is still on its path up.
- Be sure the ball arcs over the hands then drops into the hands with little velocity.
