Hand Dribble

This Challenge Activity is designed to develop children’s ball-handling skills, develop problem solving and decision making strategies, and movement skills relevant to games.

Organisation

• The players work in pairs
• Mark a gate for each pair using 2 markers

Task

• Dribble the ball around the cones using the open hand
• Practice using both the left and right hands
• Challenge the children further by giving each a number of lives; each time a player hits a cone with a ball they lose a life

Teaching Points

• Ensure the children have enough room to move around safely
• Children should look up frequently to track the paths of others
