Throwing and Catching

Welcome back! We hope everyone had a restful Christmas break and a happy New Year.

This week we were all very excited to be back in the gym; we got to play and experiment with the beanbags. We began by balancing the beanbags on various parts of our bodies while traveling around the gym.

Next we practiced tossing our beanbags up into the air. We realized that we need to keep our eyes on our beanbags and get our hands ready in order to catch them. Next we found a partner and practiced throwing and catching the beanbags. We needed to put one foot forward, bend our knees and extend our arm when throwing. We also needed to look at our partner when throwing. We had a lot of fun learning how to throw and catch the beanbags.
