Roll the Ball Names (rhythm, pulse)
You need a big, soft ball for this game. Practise name-singing and clapping until the children understand and can join in successfully. Next, everyone sits in circle. Roll the ball towards any child; everyone sing-songs that child's name and then claps it. The child rolls the ball back to you and you roll it to the next child. Aim to keep going with a steady pulse (no waiting in between rolls of the ball and no rushing) until every child has had a turn.
