A fun JHS warmup activity where the students throw a ball to each other while asking and answering questions.

Preparation

  1. Get a soft ball
  2. Have a stopwatch
  3. A sheet to keep a record of how many questions were answered.

Description

  1. All students stand up.
  2. The ALT throws the ball to a student and asks him/her a question.
  3. The student answers the question and then throws the ball to another student.
  4. The first student must ask the new student a question and then can sit down.
  5. Continue from #3.
  6. Play this game for 2 or 3 minutes, then count how many people are sitting down. The students can try to beat this number the next day.
