The idea came from the introductory activity at a Métis youth conference. I have adapted the idea for introductory lessons and anticipatory activity. For my grade one class, I created questions that asked them their favouirte colour, healthy snack, sport, subject, TV show, etc. For my grade 4, I created questions about their learning style, favourite manipulative, subject, healthy snack, favourite outdoor activity, etc. But this time the students had to answer the questions and explain why.
Activity: Pass ball (chest pass) to a student. Student answers question were left thumb lands. Student repeats the question aloud for group to hear. Student answers the question in a sentence aloud for group to hear. For example: My favourite healthy snack is? - My favourite healthy snack is carrots. Student passes to another student who has not had a turn.
For Review: ask questions related the previous activity.

Thanks so much for the beach ball!
Casey I think this is such a wonderful idea, thank you for sharing it with the class!
Yes, cool idea. A "drama" activity that could be adapted to any topic.It's a good thing beach balls aren't expensive!
