Talk together

What does your partner need the ball to do?
How could you help?
What did the test show?

Get ready

Partner, low ramp, soft ball, cardboard bumper, large target hoop made from tape.

Safety

Roll a soft ball on a clear floor away from stairs, doors and people; never throw it. Short strings stay on the table, never around a body.
Only a grown-up uses scissors or cuts cardboard. Keep small pieces out of mouths; use large cards.

How to help
