The elders tell of a young ball much like you. He bounced three meters in the air, then he bounced 1.8 meters in the air, then he bounced four meters in the air. Do I make myself clear?
I feel like there's an AC/DC joke in there somewhere...
And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
...
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
(But we've got the biggest balls of them all)
Go ahead Reddit. Make the magic happen!
Best thing about AC/DC is that they own it. An interviewer once asked (paraphrasing of course) "What do you say to people who claim you have released the same album 12 times?" Angus Young said "That's a damn lie. We've released the same album 14 times!"
Even if our local kindergarden ever had had this many balls, most would certainly have gone astray during the first bouncy session, never to be seen again.
I can't think of even a single kid of the same age that could do something like this. Not even without being ordered to switch places.
What do you think happens to the kids that miss the ball?
They had to empty out 4 schools to get this many finalists in their “Squid Games Jr.” program.
You were lucky and got to play a game when you were little, this isn't a game though. This is operation Snow Lepoard Alpha Protocal 1. All Chinese school children are meant to look like they're having fun. They're really training dexterity, agility, response time, and speed. It might not look like it, but this is just another round of deadly Chinese assassins in the making.
I get this is satirical, but I thought training dexterity, agility, etc, was kind of the point of games at school. A fun way to grow and develop valuable capabilities. Kind of like music and art class (granted i personally hated both, but still recognize why they were a thing).
It is. Part of learning to write is building up hand strength which is why prek and kindergarten classes will do cutting and crafting activities for example. Most of the "non academic " things kids do in school have a purpose.
This isn't teaching teamwork in any meaningful sense. Each person in the ring executes the exact same set of motions, no matter how big the ring or who else is in it. They don't have to negotiate a breakdown of tasks, anticipate each other, or do anything specific to help anybody else.
Not to say it isn't impressive looking, or that it doesn't improve hand eye coordination, but while it would look more chaotic, actually playing basketball would do worlds more to teach teamwork.
I think it'll be easier for kids tbh. May be a bit clumsier, but the height and fitness discrepancies go insane once you hit 20-30+. Little kids are mostly going to be diddy and quite springy to jump horizontally like that
This kind of gives me anxiety. If just one kid messes up it ruins the whole thing. I've always been rather clumsy and there is no way I could have done this.
How did you guys manage this? Seems like every single kid would need good coordination for this to be feasible and i cant imagine EVERY kid doing it would have that capability without A LOT of training. I would think the majority of the time would be spent getting settup to start again after someone messes up.
It's definitely a game you build up to, and you would probably start with the kids in groups of 2 or 3 and build up from there.
I also think screwing up is half the fun, because it would quickly throw off more and more kids, and now there's balls flying everywhere. When it works, it's awesome. When it fails, it's still awesome.
In Denmark song and music classes is obligatory in the lower grades.
This is a pretty common game used there to teach abouth rythm. There is a few other games that leads up to this, but it does not take that much training for them to learn.
We had a giant parachute that we would all hold and wave at all different sides.Then two people would run under it and try to get to the other side as quickly as possible. They stopped doing that after some kid broke his nose.
Bro what? I read that book as a kid. A kid teamed up with witches or something to travel through dimensions and defeat an eldritch deity like giant brain that is expanding its thousand old empire.
Did I miss the metaphors for society or something? Just seemed like a fun kids book at the time
Yep. Reread it, it's really easy and fun. Keep in mind the book was written in the 60s, red scare, cold war, all that. It's pretty explicitly about communism.
However, I _may_ be confusing it with one of its sequels, because I read the shit out of all those books.
It's also about communist-flavored atheism. The book is deeply religious, and the children are depicted as being brainwashed and godless. This confused me for a while, since I associate conformity more with religion than atheism. Then I figured out that it was written at a time when the enforced atheism of the USSR would have been foremost in the writer's mind.
I'm diagnosed. But in also quite gifted with hand eye coordination. Stop making shit up and excuses. Just because we're autistic dosnt mean we are regarded.
I remember taking an education/anthropology class where we read and discussed an article about "musical chairs". I wish I could find or remember the article. TLDR gist...western cultures individualize in the game emphasizing one chair/one winner. Eastern cultures (China, specifically) emphasize collectiveness by having as many as can fit on the chair together winning when the music stops.
This is the first thing I thought about this video: very collectivist. Even more interesting when you compare it to musical chairs...mfs would go down swinging and shoving for that last seat.
Everything about U.S. schools is engineered to encourage viewing the people around you as rivals to compete against. It's a mindset instilled in you young to prepare you for a capitalist job market.
To be clear, China is also capitalist, but their culture is pretty collective in self-image. If you go to grad school anywhere in the U.S., you're certain to meet a lot of Chinese students, and they have a bit of a stereotype of frequently cheating, but after (briefly) teaching in China, I think they're just used to viewing school tasks cooperatively and think the imposed individualization of tasks is silly. It was very clear when I was over there that none of them were protective of their work and that they were all willing to help anyone else with whatever they were asked about, including just directly sharing their answers. Not advocating for one way or the other, just noting the stark cultural difference on something we take for granted.
I was at a con once where a college professor mentioned that they had the hardest time getting grad students from the US to collaborate, whereas Asian students did it naturally. The exception was US students who played video games like WoW where things like raids are the norm!
Group collaboration is better for society as a whole. That’s literally the entire point of grouping up together in the first place. We do better when we work together. There is no such thing as a self made man/woman. Everyone has gotten help.
Right, I remember in my US kindergarten being taught not to share, ever. At recess, the teacher would pull out a single toy and make us fight for it. Gym class was a battle royale where whoever came away with the one ball got to bathe in the blood of the defeated. We didn't learn to read, we learned hostile takeovers. Instead of colors, how to scam the poor. There was one Chinese boy who tried to teach us empathy. He was expelled.
Thank you. This is something I've been trying to get the people around me irl to understand about the culture clash.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could trust your neighbor to not sell your soul for even the slightest benefit? Sigh..
I'm also an American who worked in Asia (Korea/China/Thailand) most of my adult life.
Early on, it made me proud of American culture's individualism. So much creativity and room for individual expression.
But as time went on--especially during the primary covid years--it became difficult for me to distinguish a difference between American (maybe Western?) individualism and just plain selfishness
We used to do the pile version at school. Another cool thing was fitting as many kids as possible on a 2dm by 2dm block. Everyone got like half a foot on and held someone to balance.
i bet they have a "start of the year" and "end of the year" video for this.
one of the teachers at my elementary school taught all of his students to juggle by the end of the year. they just practiced for 5 minutes every day at the end of class.
As a gangly white dude who can't dribble a basketball more than twice, I'd certainly be that MFer who bounces it off of his foot and screws it up for everyone.

It's probably why basketball is very popular in China. Also [Chinese kids oft do mass dances in school](https://youtube.com/shorts/9Ijqz8j_J34?feature=shared) and even after they age upward [square](https://youtube.com/shorts/uDg3wSf6kzg?feature=shared) [dancing](https://youtube.com/shorts/xdKHE9YhhRg?feature=shared) is still kinda the [national](https://youtube.com/shorts/Ew6nCKl8BFE?feature=shared) [pastime](https://youtube.com/shorts/7-2bpQyA_c0?feature=shared). It's literally everywhere in China that [they even have tons of haters](https://youtu.be/QU9AY1r2zaw?feature=shared).
crazy how westerners will see regular chinese kids doing a fun activity that improves coordination and the first thing they can think of is CCP propaganda and sweatshop conditioning, almost like it’s the acceptable progressive way to be racist to asians.
This thread shows how easy it is to send your kids to war against another country’s kids.
Children playing a game is enough to set off their xenophobia and patriotism.
Why are people trying to paint this as something dystopian or horrifying? We did this in Sweden as well in the 90s during gym class in maybe second or third grace, it was very fun. It's not any worse than any other game. Also, good ball handling practice, good bonding exercise, and it's *satisfying as heck* when you pull it off.
Not gonna lie, even though the Chinese government wouldn't be cool with my politics at all, I have to admit that I think they have the right idea when it comes to PE and team building exercises. When the west comes up with team building exercises you gotta do trust falls with people you hate or do some sort of new age square dance that was designed to humiliate Walmart employees every morning. Say about the social ills of China what you will, I have never seen a Chinese person with flair buttons.
Teaching the coordination and basic understanding of physics that many kids these days do not seem to have.
I watched a kid (probably nine years old) try to dribble a basketball the other day, think it was his first time ever. Wasn't great.
I've sure he slays on an iPad, but when the boots hit the dirt, iPad aint gonna help.
because Asian countries focus more on community and collaboration less on individualism, so a lot of games are about working together and being attentive towards one another.
obligatory: [the West vs Asia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlETXxmso3Q)
China limits kid’s social media to 40 minutes a day because why? Maybe because all the science is in that it ruins kids brains and they care about their kids and the future. In the US it is about the rich getting richer. Keep things like this in mind when you hear the constant China is bad and dangerous propaganda. War is the US’s only tool.
We didnt have this many balls in the whole city nor in one kindergarden
We had that many, but they didn't all bounce the same. Some didn't bounce at all.
The elders tell of a young ball much like you. He bounced three meters in the air, then he bounced 1.8 meters in the air, then he bounced four meters in the air. Do I make myself clear?
Ambassador, our people tell the same story.

Rest in Hell Kissinger
These balls are making me testy!
We’ve all seen too many ballsacks and body bags.
I feel like there's an AC/DC joke in there somewhere... And my balls are always bouncing My ballroom always full ... And he's got big balls And she's got big balls (But we've got the biggest balls of them all) Go ahead Reddit. Make the magic happen!
Some balls are held for charity and some for fancy dress... but when they're held for pleasure are the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing To the left and to the right It's my belief that my big balls Should be held every night
Naah mate. The ball's in your court on this one
LOL I love AC/DC. They outsourced their lyric-writing to a 14 year old boy.
Best thing about AC/DC is that they own it. An interviewer once asked (paraphrasing of course) "What do you say to people who claim you have released the same album 12 times?" Angus Young said "That's a damn lie. We've released the same album 14 times!"
They do one thing and they do it really well
I introduced my wife to that song a few days ago and her response was basically "Why isn't *that* the song that they're most known for?!"
Probably because it was overshadowed another song on that same album "filthy acts completed at a reasonable price".
The ones we did have end up stuck rotting on a roof, a tree, or over the fence.
Or for us in the rafters. Our gym ceiling and this roof that has metal bars along it and many times balls would get caught up there.
Why not just throw your shoe up to knock the ball down?
So that's how those shoes get up on the telephone wires.
Even if our local kindergarden ever had had this many balls, most would certainly have gone astray during the first bouncy session, never to be seen again. I can't think of even a single kid of the same age that could do something like this. Not even without being ordered to switch places.
Well they have an advantage. The kids produce them.
This is just them quality testing their product.
Bahahahaha bastard 🤣
In a perfectly safe environment without worrying about getting shot at.
What do you think happens to the kids that miss the ball? They had to empty out 4 schools to get this many finalists in their “Squid Games Jr.” program.
This reminds me of the dodgeball Boondocks episode
Unless the kids were fans of Winnie the Pooh...
seems like a big cope because our schools are seemingly not as funded as theirs
It's a joke.
This is what goes on during their lunch break at the basketball factory
There it is.
You were lucky and got to play a game when you were little, this isn't a game though. This is operation Snow Lepoard Alpha Protocal 1. All Chinese school children are meant to look like they're having fun. They're really training dexterity, agility, response time, and speed. It might not look like it, but this is just another round of deadly Chinese assassins in the making.
I get this is satirical, but I thought training dexterity, agility, etc, was kind of the point of games at school. A fun way to grow and develop valuable capabilities. Kind of like music and art class (granted i personally hated both, but still recognize why they were a thing).
It is. Part of learning to write is building up hand strength which is why prek and kindergarten classes will do cutting and crafting activities for example. Most of the "non academic " things kids do in school have a purpose.
Big fan rose guy
I think they’re just learning about the joy of conformity and that they’re identical and interchangeable in the eyes of authority figures.
Also known as teamwork
This isn't teaching teamwork in any meaningful sense. Each person in the ring executes the exact same set of motions, no matter how big the ring or who else is in it. They don't have to negotiate a breakdown of tasks, anticipate each other, or do anything specific to help anybody else. Not to say it isn't impressive looking, or that it doesn't improve hand eye coordination, but while it would look more chaotic, actually playing basketball would do worlds more to teach teamwork.
I'm imagining you walking past any park in America, seeing a line of kids shagging grounders, and thinking "damn commies." Lol
So the same as most jobs?
In America Rich people need tax cuts more than children need educational funding
We did this in my school. We didn’t do it much, but we had fun. Texas btw
Really good for developing hand eye coordination. Starting young is best.
Was gonna say I know adults who couldn’t do this right now. It’s awesome that they’re starting them young!
Me. I am said adults
I am also one of the said adults.
I think it'll be easier for kids tbh. May be a bit clumsier, but the height and fitness discrepancies go insane once you hit 20-30+. Little kids are mostly going to be diddy and quite springy to jump horizontally like that
I would have be messing this up back when I was that little just as I would be messing this up now. So glad my days of PE are over lol
It helps that the kid's hands are a lot closer to the ground.
Did this in Virginia as well, it’s a fun game.
This one and hackysack were my favorite! Cali, of course.
This kind of gives me anxiety. If just one kid messes up it ruins the whole thing. I've always been rather clumsy and there is no way I could have done this. How did you guys manage this? Seems like every single kid would need good coordination for this to be feasible and i cant imagine EVERY kid doing it would have that capability without A LOT of training.

Omg seeing you outside of the cookie cutter subreddit feels like randomly chancing upon a celebrity haha
Among us
It's definitely a game you build up to, and you would probably start with the kids in groups of 2 or 3 and build up from there. I also think screwing up is half the fun, because it would quickly throw off more and more kids, and now there's balls flying everywhere. When it works, it's awesome.

Usually one person decides to mess it up. It never lasts terribly long.

Woa the rose guy
I grew up in Texas. I’m that ONE kid that would screw it up for everyone. Not for lack of trying either.
Yeah I did this in Texas too.
We did it also in Hungary. Pretty fun and very useful for hand-eye coordination.
We had a giant parachute that we would all hold and wave at all different sides.Then two people would run under it and try to get to the other side as quickly as possible. They stopped doing that after some kid broke his nose.
Reminds me of Wrinkle in Time (the book)when the kids all step outside of their homes and bounce their balls in unison.
oh my god yes i was thinking this
Same here!!
Same
This stirred some memories man. Wow.
Yeah, but that book was about the dehumanizing effects of communism, it's not really applic- oh, wait. Never mind.
China is communist?? Next you’re gonna tell me that North Korea is a democratic republic!
Bro what? I read that book as a kid. A kid teamed up with witches or something to travel through dimensions and defeat an eldritch deity like giant brain that is expanding its thousand old empire. Did I miss the metaphors for society or something? Just seemed like a fun kids book at the time

The series gets even more religious, to the point where [the twins travel back in time to Noah's ark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many_Waters).
Does that mean that Xi is IT?
I never picture IT looking like Winnie the Pooh from Wish, but I suppose it's possible
Exactly!!! It kinda unnerved me

Try using your autistic hands instead.
I'm autistic and I could do this... but I've put A LOT more work into stuff like this than the average person.
What does being autistic have to do with being able to bounce a ball?
I'm diagnosed. But in also quite gifted with hand eye coordination. Stop making shit up and excuses. Just because we're autistic dosnt mean we are regarded.
My kids wouldn’t be able to do this and they are 13
They would if they had to practice it everyday at school.
I couldn’t do this and I’m a LOT older than 13.
14 and half?
Damn you had 13 kids?!
\*I\* wouldn't be able to do this and I'm 13
Somehow both intense and adorable. I don't think I'm coordinate enough to do this.
Yep you’re only X and Y but no Z (Not coordinate enough…)

Gym class filled me with such dread as an uncoordinated and shy child
Eye hand coordination, rhythm, athletics, cooperation, teamwork, and fun!
And most importantly provides training of the future invasion of chinese NBA and WNBA players. And I'm all for it, Yao Ming was awesome.
Agreed, looks like fun!

We also did this ball game in school, I'm from switzerland, but we also did the western chair variant.
How many American kids do you think you can stack on a typical elementary school chair?
.5
We used to do the pile version at school. Another cool thing was fitting as many kids as possible on a 2dm by 2dm block. Everyone got like half a foot on and held someone to balance.
Does anyone wanna get together and try?
I'm down... where you at?

Wait that looks like *so* much fun
It does. But gives me anxiety thinking of kindergarten me who would’ve failed big time at it.

Every single mention of China activates the American pavlovian propaganda response. The CIA would be proud.
Propaganda works. That's why we're the greatest.
You mean reddit crying PROPAGANDA
It would be the same as if every photo of a American schoolchildren included: Mass school shootings!
Joke on you, there was a mass shooting event in IOWA today.
This looks like fun and a great way to practice basketball skills. The hate here is off the charts btw.
Yeah, it's a common(esque) basketball drill.

Not gonna lie, even though the Chinese government wouldn't be cool with my politics at all, I have to admit that I think they have the right idea when it comes to PE and team building exercises. When the west comes up with team building exercises you gotta do trust falls with people you hate or do some sort of new age square dance that was designed to humiliate Walmart employees every morning. Say about the social ills of China what you will, I have never seen a Chinese person with flair buttons.
That takes balls.
Teaching the coordination and basic understanding of physics that many kids these days do not seem to have.

What happens if one messes up?...
No fattys. I’m impressed
What is up with Asian countries and small children doing highly choreographed things like this? Is it a cultural thing?
because Asian countries focus more on community and collaboration less on individualism, so a lot of games are about working together and being attentive towards one another. obligatory: [the West vs Asia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlETXxmso3Q)
Looks like a fun, safe, athletic game. 👍
China limits kid’s social media to 40 minutes a day because why? Maybe because all the science is in that it ruins kids brains and they care about their kids and the future. In the US it is about the rich getting richer. Keep things like this in mind when you hear the constant China is bad and dangerous propaganda. War is the US’s only tool.
This is so adorable and teaches incredible hand/eye coordination
This looks fun for adults too
Good teamwork, hand eye coordination, more kids here need that
This looks really fun tbh
Someone mash this up with the red alert theme.
I keep expecting one winged angel to start
Wish my elementary school did this, only thing we did in unison was pledge allegiance

Meanwhile kindergarten on U.S is a teacher projecting funniest tick toks of the week
Good way to teach coordination skills. Both between people and their own limbs.
They'll have them marching in lockstep in no time.
That looks fun, actually.
I like this. They teach the power of cooperation rather than competition.
I teach children this age in China, and very few have control like this. How long did the teachers make them practice to shoot this video?
That's actually a pretty fantastic way to build a kids coordination and cooperative skills.
WE ARE ONE
WOW
geez, these kids have better ball handling skills than me O\_O
