Throw the ball

Objective:

To encourage participation, interaction, and ensure everyone gets a chance to speak during the Zoom meeting in a fun and engaging way.

How It Works:

One person starts by saying the name of another participant and says, “I’m throwing the ball to [Name]”
The named person becomes the next speaker. Before throwing the ball, they must:
- Answer the questions asked to them
- Give an intro, if asked
After speaking, they “throw the ball” to another participant by calling out, “I’m throwing the ball to [Next Name]”.

Rules:

Everyone must participate when the ball is thrown to them.
No one can throw the ball back to the person who just passed it.
Be respectful and attentive while others are speaking.
Make sure everyone gets a turn — no repeating names until all have spoken.
