How to Juggle
 
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
To become able to juggle, or at least to know the technique in which to do so.
 
4. Objectives-
To enable to the class to juggle for at least 5 seconds or more
 
5. Materials and Aids-
Juggling Balls
 
6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

Juggling, although it appears complicated, is actually a fairly simple technique that can be learned in a manner similar to riding a bike-hard at first, but you never forget.
 

B. Development-

The first step of juggling is to position two balls in one hand, with one sitting on your pointer and middle finger.
 

C. Practice-

2.The first step of juggling is to position two balls in one hand, with one sitting on your pointer and middle finger.
3.Toss one ball up at at time, trying to switch which ball is thrown in the air with your one hand
4.Repeat this process with your other hand. When you feel ready, use both hands
5. To start with both hands, throw a ball diagonally, so it will land in the other hand, and do the catch and throw method for that hand, sending the other ball back in turn.
 

D. Independent Practice-

Here, each student is in turn given the juggling balls and an opportunity to attempt the technique with both hands
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

if this seems difficult for you, try with your dominant hand first, throwing into your non-dominant hand, and then back and forth until the technique is established
 

F. Checking for understanding-

What is the method used to juggle?
What do your hands do while juggling?
When juggling something that is not completely round, is this still a valid technique?
 

G. Closure-

So basically this is how one would juggle with one or both hands. If you're really determined, you can use more than one ball, but these are the basics
 
7. Evaluation-
Were students able to juggle correctly?
Were students able to sustain juggling for more than 5 seconds?
