How to play
Players in a circle throw a ball to other players in the circle. An interceptor inside the circle tries to intercept the ball. Only the interceptor can move.
Players on the circle can’t move.
Teacher calls out a starting number and the chosen content focus, eg. count forwards by 1 starting at 20.
Players throw the ball to each other.
Each time a player catches the ball, they call out the next number in the pattern.
If the ball is intercepted, the thrower changes places with the interceptor, or change after 4 throws.
