Question a Ball

Description
While answering the questions, the group had to throw and catch a ball. The ball they caught corresponded to a certain question, meaning they needed to remember what question they were supposed to be answering.
Resources
Coloured pens or pencils
Big pieces of paper
Sticky tack
Instructions
The person leading the activity should tell the group to sit or stand in a circle.
Large groups could be split into two or three smaller circles.
The person leading the activity should explain that they’ll read out the first question the paper. Everyone should think of their answer to the question in their head.
The person leading the activity will then throw a ball, which should be the same colour as the question is written in, to a person in the circle. They must catch the ball, answer the question and throw it to another person in the circle.
That person must answer the same question and throw it to another person in the circle. This should continue until everyone has answered the first question.
If you were unable to get marker pens and balls with matching colours, assign a different kind of ball to a certain question (e.g. a tennis ball for ‘What is your favourite sport’).
After three or four people in the circle(s) have answered the first question, the person leading the activity should read out the second question and throw the next ball to a person in the circle. This ball should be thrown about and the second question answered in the same way.
Try not to throw to someone who already has a ball or who is answering a question!
If the group are comfortable, you can keep asking questions and adding the balls that go with them. See how many the group can keep moving while answering the questions. You can use the questions in the table below for inspiration.
