Juggling

Juggling is a fun skill where you keep objects in the air. Jugglers use balls, clubs, or rings. They toss and catch them in a special pattern. It takes time and practice to learn. Once you learn, you can show off for your friends.

How to Juggle

Most people start juggling with three balls. You toss one ball from one hand to the other. Then you add more balls to the pattern. Your eyes must watch the tops of the tosses. Your hands catch the balls without looking. Beginners often drop the balls a lot at first.

There are many ways to juggle. Some jugglers use clubs shaped like bowling pins. Others juggle rings or knives. Contact jugglers roll balls over their hands and arms. Two jugglers can even pass objects back and forth. The more you practice, the more tricks you can do.
