If you ever want to take a true test of you reflexes, you should play 'catch' with a group of five year olds. I did with my class today, and I will tell you that it is a lot more difficult than is seems.
The way children throw is highly unpredictable, and so, you never know where the object (a bean bag in this case) might end up. Sometimes they will hurtle is straight at your face, at times is goes straight onto the floor, some bean bags shoot up over the heads and there are even occasions where the bean bag ends up behind the child!!
So there I was, diving all over the place like a seal in Ocean Park, trying to catch all these bean bags!!!
I didnt do very well either, so it was also a battering for the old self esteem!
silly kids
