Materials: A ball, or balled-up pair of socks
Have a game of catch, while you practice sportsmanship. Toss a ball (or a balled-up pair of socks) back and forth. Start close to each other, then take a step back with each toss. Tell your child that if someone else drops the ball, say “Nice try!” If someone makes a good catch say, “Good catch!” If your child drops the ball, they can say, “I’ll try again.”
Keep playing until you can’t back up anymore!

Materiales: una pelota o un par de calcetines doblados juntos
Jueguen a atrapar la pelota mientras practican espíritu deportivo. Tírense la pelota (o el par de calcetines) uno a otro. Comiencen de cerca y den un paso hacia atrás después de cada lanzamiento. Dile a tu niño que, si alguien deja caer la pelota, diga: “¡Buen intento!”. Si alguien atrapa bien la pelota, puede decir: “¡Muy bien!”. Si tu niño deja caer la pelota, puede decir: “Trataré de nuevo”.
¡Jueguen hasta que no puedan alejarse más!
