What is ball?

A ball is something you can kick, throw, or bounce to play a game.

Imagine you're holding a round toy that feels smooth in your hands, like a small orange or a marble. That's what a ball is! It’s usually made of soft or hard materials and has no corners, so it rolls easily when you push it.

You can kick a ball with your foot to send it flying across the ground, just like how you might send a rock rolling by pushing it. Or you can throw it up in the air and catch it again, like tossing a beanbag back and forth.

Balls are special because they move in ways that make games exciting. You can run after them, jump to hit them, or even bounce them off walls, just like how you might bounce a rubber ball on the floor. Some balls are bouncy, some are squishy, and others are hard like a tennis ball.

Playing with balls helps you learn how to move and catch things, it's like training your body for adventures!
