How to play with balls
Start with the basic ball skills – catching, throwing or kicking.
As your child gets better at these skills, you can kick or throw a ball at a target or into a goal, through a hoop or to another person. Just pick an activity that you and your child enjoy.
Try these ideas:
- Teach your child to catch using a big, soft ball. Start close together and slowly increase the distance between you as your child’s skills improve.
- Play with soft balls (or a ball of socks) inside with your child. Take turns to throw them into a bucket or laundry basket. You could move the bucket or basket closer when it’s your child’s turn.
- Take a ball to the playground. Practise kicking it to each other or to a goal or target. Pick an easy target so your child can have a go and feel successful.
- Take a ball outside and bounce it together. Your child could practise dribbling it like a basketball player, or you could bounce it back and forth to each other.
