Divide the group into 2 teams.
- Tell the story that it is autumn and the nuts are falling from the trees.
- We are a group of squirrels and we need to gather as many nuts as we can to survive the winter. The team with the most nuts wins.
- The coach scatters the nuts (can be ping pong balls, tennis balls or other small balls).
- On the coach's signal, all players may start collecting nuts all dribbling.
- They may bring one nut at a time to their nest.
- When all the nuts are collected, we count the nuts per team and the team with the most nuts wins.
- The chaos forces the little players to look around and not at the ball when they are dribbling.
Variation:- dribbling with weak hand
-
Tag game - ideal as a warm-up for players U8 - U10
- 1 Ticker (the bird of prey)
- The others are little birds
- The little birds start on the sideline and must dribble over to the other sideline.
- They must not be tapped by the big bird of prey.
- If they are tapped, they become a fowler.
- At the spot where they are tapped, they put the ball between their feet and become additional, stationary tickers.
- The winner is the last player who is not tapped. This one can become the new bird of prey in the next game.
Variations:- Dribbling with the weak hand only
- Predator with a ball
