Object to GO!

Toss the ball up and down to yourself a few times while leading a short discussion with the following comments and questions:

●      What is this called? Children respond.

●      Raise your hand if you have ever thrown or caught a ball. Children respond.    

●      What else can you do with this ball? Bounce it, roll it. (Roll the ball and then bounce and catch it). You are right; balls are fun!    

●      Which robot do you think will catch a ball in the video today, Gizmo, Gears, Rig or Widget? Children guess. 

●      Good guesses! Let’s watch the video now to find out!    

Leave the question unanswered until it is revealed in the video.
