| Grab your balls! And learn to juggle! |
Juggling is great for improving hand and eye coordination and is said to improve creative thinking by uniting the left and right halves of the brain. Here are five tips to get you started.

2 - Go outside where you won’t hit anything with a flying ball.
3 - Practise throwing one ball in an arc from hand to hand, with your hands a couple of feet apart, just above waist height, and the ball reaching head height. As you get used to it, begin moving your hands in a circular juggling motion with each catch and throw.

| Juggling It takes balls! |
5 - Once you’ve mastered two balls, begin with two balls in your right hand and one in your left. Throw one ball from right to left. Before it reaches your left hand, throw the left ball to your right hand. Before it reaches your right hand throw the second ball to your left hand. Before it reaches your left hand, throw the ball in your left hand to your right hand.
Keep doing this and... hey, you’re juggling!

Ok, so we have scared the dog and one of our juggling balls (left over from when the children were little) has just flown over the fence. I have to concede that even with these easy steps, my husband and I will never make it as jugglers!
ReplyDeleteBet you thought you'd never again have to ask your neighbours, "Please can I have my ball back?"
