INTRO
Y’all hear this beat? I want you to clap with me to this beat. Y’all ready to try this? Here we go! It goes Clap! Yeah, you got it. This beat is bouncing. It feels like it’s bouncing like a ball. A big rubbery bounce ball. Have you ever played with a big bouncing ball? One that bounces of the ground, bounces off the wall, bounces on the ceiling? i want you to imagine yourself as a big bouncing ball. What would that feel like? I want you ball up yourself into a big ball. Now I want you to bounce like you’re a ball. Aight, I’m going to do it with you. If you can hear this song i need you bouncing like a ball. You ready to try this? Here we go.
CHORUS 3x

Bounce like a ball, bounce like a ball
Bounce bounce like a ball, bounce like ball
Bounce bounce like a ball, bounce like ball
Bounce bounce…wait a minute!
VERSE 1
Aight, y’all know how to bounce a ball. Now let’s see if you can kick a soccer ball. Do you know what a soccer ball looks like? Let me see you put a soccer ball on the ground and kick it. Y’all ready? Here we go. (you’ve got to kick it).

Kick the ball, kick kick the ball
Kick the ball, kick kick the ball
Kick the ball, kick kick the ball
Kick the…wait a minute (you’ve got to kick it)
Kick with your left, kick with your right
Kick with your left, kick with your right
Kick left, kick right, kick left, kick right
Kick left, kick right… wait a minute
VERSE 2
Aight. Let’s try a baseball. Have you ever seen a baseball? It’s a small ball that fits in the palm of your hand. When you throw a baseball, it’s called “pitching” the ball. Let’s try to pitch the ball (you’ve got to pitch it).

Pitch the ball, pitch pitch the ball
Pitch the ball, pitch pitch the ball
Pitch the ball, pitch pitch the ball
Pitch the…wait a minute (you’ve got to pitch it)
Pitch with your left, pitch with your right
Pitch with your left, pitch with your right
Pitch left pitch right, pitch left, pitch right
Pitch left, pitch right… wait a minute
VERSE 3
Next, we’re going to hit a tennis ball. When you do that, you have to have a tennis racket in your hand, and you swing it at the ball and hit the ball. Are y’all ready to hit the ball? Let’s do this (you’ve got to hit it).

Hit the ball, hit hit the ball
Hit the ball, hit hit the ball
hit the ball, hit hit the ball
Hit the…wait a minute (you’ve got to kick it)
Hit with your left, hit with your right
Hit with your left, hit with your right
Hit left pitch right, hit left, hit right
Hit left, pitch right… wait a minute
VERSE 4
Okay. Now let’s do a basketball. A basketball is a big ball that you bounce. When you bounce the ball that is called dribbling the ball. Can you dribble the ball? Let’s try to dribble the ball (you’ve got to dribble it).

Dribble the ball, dribble dribble the ball
Dribble the ball, dribble dribble the ball
Dribble the ball, dribble dribble the ball
Dribble the…wait a minute (you’ve got to kick it)
Dribble with your left, dribble with your right
Dribble with your left, dribble with your right
Dribble left pitch right, dribble left, dribble right
Dribble left, dribble right… wait a minute

Great job! You have kicked a soccer ball, pitched a baseball, hit a tennis ball, and dribbled a basketball. One last time I want everyone to bounce like a ball. Here we go.
