Supplies That You Will Need:
1. A basketball pump to make sure that all the basketballs are pumped up
2. Enough basketballs for the group
3. Writing utensils
4. You will need a sheet of math problems with some addition problems, subtraction problems, multiplication problems and division problems.
5. Clip boards
**Make sure you will have enough copies of the sheet of math problems

Facilitation: Each time people change stations you will need to put new math problem paper on the clip board that are not used. Make sure that also when they come to the station that they do not just grab a basketball.

Directions for The Basketball Game
When people come to The Basketball Stastion you will have everyone sit down on the floor and when everyone is quiet you can start the demonstration. When you start esplaining what they are going to be doing you will show them while you explain it. When you start explaining tell everyone they will be getting a basketball and when you get a basketball and then sit on the basketball. After you have done that you will put both feet straight out, after you do that you will cross 1 leg over the other leg. Then after everyone is on the basketballs with their legs straight out and crossed you will hand everyone a clip board with a sheet of math problems on the clip board and a utensil to write with and they will have to do math problems on the basketball well trying to ballence yourself on the basketball. If during the 10 minutes you fall off the basketball it is fine you just will have to get back on and try it again.

What you need to watch out for while people are playing: Make sure they are not using one of their hands and the floor to help balance themselves because it would defeat the purpose of The Basketball Game.

After you are done with The Basketball Game and have 5 Minutes left you will do the discussion questions.
