Bounce High

Lyrics/Translation:
Bounce high, bounce low
Bounce the ball to Shiloh (for name game, replace “Shiloh” with student’s name).

Game Directions
Form a circle. A volleyball is passed from person to person in a drop-catch pattern, with
the ball hitting the floor on accented beats, picked up and passed on, keeping the
activity in time with the singing. - Eleanor G. Locke, Sail Away

Name Game Directions:

Follow passing directions in the original game. When the group gets to measure four,
instead of singing “Shiloh” they should sing the name of the student to whom the ball is
about to be passed.
