EQUIPMENT

4 Cones, 1 Basketball for each child

SETUP

Set up cones in the corners of the room so the children know the boundaries. Spread children out throughout the room and give each child a basketball. Designate one child to start as the chaser.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. On ‘go’ the chaser will run around the room chasing the other children.

2. The only way the children can move about the room is to dribble a basketball. They may stop and rest when needed, but must dribble to move.

3. If the chaser tags another child, they must stop where they get tagged and free themselves by dribbling in their spot 20 times. Once they complete that task, they are free to join the game again.

4. Rotate the chaser every few minutes.

Make it Easier: 

Younger children can dribble the ball, catch it, then dribble it again if they have difficulty with normal dribbling.

Make it Harder:

Add multiple chasers. Decrease the size of the play area.
