**Objective:** Make sure your message is sent and received

## Setup

Step One:  

Players circle up. The facilitator pantomimes reaching into a large bag, and pulls out a small Blue Ball.

Step Two: 

The Blue Ball is passed around the group with deliberate focus and acceptance. The way to pass it is as follows:

- Player One (as they are throwing, makes eye contact with somebody else in the circle): “Blue Ball”
- Player Two (receiving): says “Blue Ball, thank you.”
- Player Two (to someone else): “Blue Ball.”

This exchange is important, as it ensures that the player sends the objects clearly and that the receiver acknowledges what they have just caught. Players must react to not only the size of the ball but also the weight.

Step Three:  

From here, the facilitator can pull anything they want out of the bag. It’s common to stay a little grounded before you pull out crazy stuff, and many people will go from “Blue Ball” to “Yellow Ball” to “Red Ball” (the colours usually vary in size and weight).

## Variations

To take the game to the next level, try and throw things such as "Golf Ball", "Bowling Ball", or "Tennis Ball". After that, consider pulling out “piano”, “puppy”, “fire”, "baby" or anything in the known or unknown universe.
