Activity 1 – Tail Tag- Introduce yourself again – My

name is …- Ask the players to introduce

themselves making eye contact with you

- Get the players to introduce themselves again

- Now let’s get the players moving

- Tail tag is a tag game where every player is trying to keep their tail and get as many other tails as they can.

- Play short rounds- Everybody is it- Remind players that part of the

challenge is to keep your tail as much as getting everyone else's

I’m going to get your tail!

Activity 2 – What Animal can you be?- Get players to skip around, do

cart wheels, or whatever then stop them and ask the kids for an animal

- Once an animal is yelled out have all the players act like that animal

- Don’t forget to get them to make the sound

- After a few minutes ask for another animal and so on

- Have a few fun animals in your head in case no one speaks up to start

- Elephant- Snake- Unicorn- Gorilla

- You can transition to a tag game acting like the animals too

What animal are we

going to be?

Zebra

That’s great how do we gallop like

a zebra?

What sound do they make?

Activity 3 – Red Light/Green Light- All players start on one side of

the field you start on the other- When you want them to go you

say “Green Light” when you want them to stop say “Red Light”

- If a player doesn’t stop when you say “Red Light” they go back to the beginning

- All players need a ball at their feet the whole time

- Show players how to stop the ball with the sole of their foot

- You can describe this action as “Stand like a Pirate”

Activity 4 – Chase with a ball- Tag game where the players

focus on trying to get you- Play with ball only- Once the players have the balls

at their feet they would pass and try to hit you below the knee with their ball

- Be a reasonable target to be hit you will want to walk or jog at most

- If your group is really good challenge the players to hit the ball between your legs for extra points

Activity 5 – Play- Split the players onto two

teams- Play 3v3 with a few subs- Have a pile of balls ready to go

that you will send onto the field when it goes out of bounds

- Each time a ball goes out of bounds or a goal is scored yell “New Ball” and distribute a new ball on the field

- Can you get the ball to players that haven’t been involved

- Can you distribute the ball to challenge the team that needs challenging

- Players will clump together and chase the ball – that is normal

- Parents will want to help collect balls have them hold onto the balls and then collect them when you run out so players get a rest

New Ball

Thanks

Have fun and be decisive!
