Nina’s Nine Rolling Balls

Nina the number 9 has nine bouncy balls to chase, count, and decorate. Some seem ready to roll away, while others look like they might bounce high into the air. This playful page helps children connect the written number 9 with a group of nine objects. Point to each ball as you count together. After nine, try saying the number that comes next: ten!

Design Super Bouncy Balls

Make Nina a bold purple, blue, or red number with a smiling, sporty look. Color the nine balls in bright playground colors, then add patterns that help tell them apart. One could have green stripes, one could have yellow stars, and one could be covered in pink polka dots. Use a light gray shadow under each ball to show where it might land. A grassy green ground makes a fun play space.

Bouncy Ball Facts

A bouncy ball springs back up because its rubbery material squishes when it hits the ground, then quickly returns to its shape. A hard floor usually makes a ball bounce higher than a soft rug. Balls can roll, bounce, spin, or be tossed in the air. The higher a ball starts, the more room it has to bounce. Nine colorful balls would make a very lively game!
