8min.:
Play the recording of fellow students reading, A Big Guy Took
My Ball! by Mo Willems

Talk about this months character trait which is kindness. Talk
about how the whale felt and how our friend might feel when
we pick on them.

Outward appearance is rarely a true indicator of inner feelings,
though, and the same reality is reflected in the whale, who turns out
to be a gentle giant who is remarkably polite. Size should never be a
factor in determining friendship, and Willems's two pals are happy to
have a new playmate.
2-3min.:
Review of game room expectations. Explanation of the game.
Show pics of game.

25min.:
Whale Ball
Students will have to find their way around the whale course
There will be 4 stations
Station 1 and Station 4 (Whale Wiggle)
First they must toss/pass the ball from one person to
the other in their line before the first person can leave
from the cones.
From their cones the must wiggle thru the tunnel, jump
over the ropes and find their way to the bucket of balls
in the middle.
Next they will take pick a ball and toss that ball up and
down (the number of times is determined by the card
that they flip numbers 1-10)
Finally, they must wiggle back to their cone and tag the
next person in line
Station 2 (Stick balance)
First they must toss/pass the ball from one person to
the other in their line before the first person can leave
from the cones.
They must step on each spot dot carrying a ball on the
top of the balance pole. Stop when they get to the large
cone and come back stepping on each spot dot on their
way back.
Station 3 (Foot balance)
First they must toss/pass the ball from one person to
the other in their line before the first person can leave
from the cones.
Stepping on the balance line with one foot and a ball
balanced on their hand, they must find their way to the
center of the room where there will be a pile of balls.
They must step off of the balance line place the original
ball in the pile and replace it with a new ball and find
their way back to their team
**Before the next person can go each time the team must first
toss/pass the ball to everyone in the line**
***The teammates left behind must cheer their teammates
on***
