Learn to Juggle
Juggling has delighted kids to kings for centuries.  It's fun and easy.
Learn to Juggle!
 		"It looks hard," you say?  Juggling is actually doing a single thing over and over again.  That single thing is the simple act of tossing an object into the air in such a way as to leave your hand open to catch another object.  If you can do that, you can juggle.
The first step is to learn is how to juggle three balls.  Want to see how?  Check out this easy Java applet juggling lesson.

Following are a couple of links to more really good juggling lessons.  (A new web browser window will open when you click these links.  To return to BlackDog's Summer Camp, close the new web browser windows.) After you have practiced, practiced and practiced and know how to juggle three balls, you're ready for a few tricks: Hey, you're almost a master juggler!  Next, move on to other things, like rings, clubs, cups -- you name it.  Check out these links to terrific juggling sites for ideas, more links, and more information: Now that you're a master juggler, what do you do?

Suggestion #1:  Show your folks and friends what you've learned.  Beware, though.  Too much of a good thing will drive people nuts, so show off your new skills sparingly.

Suggestion #2:  How about a talent show?  Organize some kids in your neighborhood so everyone can show off their different talents, including your new juggling ability.  What better way to spend a terrific summer than working on a neighborhood show.  Be sure to tell your folks what you're doing, though!
