Have the children stand in a circle, holding hands.  A beach ball is dropped into the circle and players see how many times they can keep it in the air without losing their connection, everyone in the circle must continue holding hands.  This will require that the circle move and children work cooperatively to keep the ball in the air.  Children may contact the ball with hands, arms, heads, shoulders, chests or knees - but not feet.  If the ball falls to the ground or is touched by feet, start the count over.
