This activity is a very simple team building exercise that is great to use anytime. Here are the guidelines:

1.  Explain to the group that their task is to see how many times they can hit the ball in the air before it hits the ground.

2.  When the ball hits the ground, the hit counter returns to zero and the group must restart.

Round 1: Explain that in this round no one may hit the ball twice in succession.

Round 2: For a more advanced round, tell the group that each person must hit the ball once before anyone may hit it a second time.

Continue with simple variations like each hit must rotate girl to guy and so on. The idea is to give the group a chance to work together, practice and improve.

Facilitator's Note: As you move along, try asking your group to set a goal, or set one for them as a challenge.
