Partner:

Stand 8-10 feet across from your partner. Toss FlipZ to partner and have them catch using one hand ( two hands if needed)
Toss FlipZ to partner and call which hand to catch it with as you toss it
Hold FlipZ horizontally in your hands so it can roll off towards your partner and be flat as it approaches them. Toss FlipZ to your partner and call out which color to have their hand on when they catch it. Catch with one hand.
Stand back to back with your partner. One partner will start with the FlipZ in their hand. Partner A with the FlipZ will toss the FlipZ backwards over their head. Partner B will need to react and catch the FlipZ before it touches the ground using 1 or 2 hands. Students should call out “Ready?” “Yes”
Each partner starts with their own FlipZ. Toss FlipZ to one another at the same time and catch using one hand. (two hands if needed)
Each partner starts with their own FlipZ. One partner has a ball to start with. Toss ball to partner who will catch the ball on their FlipZ. Take turns tossing and catching. See how many catches you can make in a row together.
Each partner starts with their own FlipZ and one partner has a ball to start with. Partner A will toss the ball towards their partner. Partner B will hit the ball back to Partner A using their FlipZ who will catch the ball using their free hand. Progressive hits and catches 1,2,3,4, etc. See how many hits in a row you and your partner can make with catching the ball.
Repeat step 7 but after each hit students must flip over their FlipZ so the opposite color is on top. Start with one hit and catch and then progress to more.
Each partner starts with their own FlipZ and a ball. Partners need to toss their ball to their partner and each must catch their partners ball on their FlipZ. Both must catch to succeed.
Stand back to back with your partner each starting with a FlipZ. Partner A starts with a ball in their hand. Partner will toss the ball backwards over their head and Partner B must try and catch it on their FlipZ. Take turns tossing and catching. See how many catches in a row you and your partner can make. Allow a bounce for modifications of needed.
