Juggle

Juggle
__**Directions**__:
 * Get in a circle
 * Toss a bean bag (or other object) to a student across the circle and say their name
 * They must then toss it to someone else who has not caught the bean bag and say their name
 * Repeat this process until all students have caught and tossed the bean bag.
 * They must remember who threw to them and who they throw to
 * Once everyone has caught and thrown the bean bag, it gets tossed back to you
 * Repeat the pattern with the same bean bag in the same order

See how fast you can pass the bean bag in the order that you created. The students can choose to re-order themselves and pass the bean bag, they can stack their hands in order to drop the bean bag past all of their fingers, etc. The goal it that they all work together to get the fastest time.
 * __Challenge #1__**

See how many objects they can juggle following the exact same pattern that they created. You add in objects and count how many you toss and see if you can get them all returned back to you.
 * __Challenge #2__**

- Let the students try out everyone's ideas throughout this process. - Encourage the students to let one person lead the group at a time when trying to achieve each challenge. - Set high goals for them (ex. "I've seen a group do this in 1 second flat!") - Don't give them hints!!
 * __Teacher Notes__**


 * __Take Away Message__**
 * We work better as a team
 * We should always be open to new ideas
 * We all need to be a part of this to achieve each challenge
