Name is given to each participant, for example, retina, myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, presbyopia, lens, iris, cornea, macula, pupil, eye-balls etc. The captain tells a story referring to those names. Hearing the particular name the participant stands up, makes a round and sits down. When COMMONEY is called, then all stand and make a round and sit down.

Participants move around the chairs while bouncing balls; when the bell rings, they sit down and practise the exercises.
