Team Building Day 2

Today we did another team building activity with the students. The objective this time was to pass a bucket of tennis balls around the circle using nothing but their feet. The bucket could not be touched with hands and could not touch the ground. They quickly found this was not as easy as it looked.

Dylan and Caleb watch as Mrs. Mason and Mrs. Norman demonstrate how to pass the bucket. Looks easy, right???

Logan passes off to Nicole
Kaylee and Zach have a hard time keeping the bucket off the ground
