Catching like Crazy

The week we started our unit on Catching. We have learned to throw and toss, now we need to learn how to catch. The cues we use for catching are:

Watch object with eyes (it's our prize)

Move feet to object

Catch with sandwich hands

Here are some pictures of the students practice a self toss and catch. After they could self catch a few times in a row we tried some tricks to go along with it. Students tried to see how many claps they could get before they catch the self tossed bean-bag. I believe the record was 8 claps. They were also trying to clap in front and in back of their body before they catch the bean bag or scarf.
