Balancing Ball Activity Games

• To play the Book - Ball Balance Relay game, line up two teams up at a starting line. Each player must race to a turn-around line and back again. The key to this game is that each player has to race with a small book balanced on his head and a small playground ball balanced between his knees. Once that relay has been played and a winner is declared, play the game again, this time balancing two balls, one beneath each underarm or beneath the chin. Play different variations with different sizes of balls.

If the balance touches the ground -- game over.
