Number Passing
Players stand in two horizontal lines and pass four balls from one end of the line to the other.
A few rounds later one team puts their balls down. As the other team is passing they hold up numbers on their hands. The passing team must catch the ball, look at the number and shout it out then pass the ball to the next player as quickly as possible.
