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
- Play one turn without the ball and then get the players on the ball

Activity 4 – Chase the Coach- Tag game where the players
focus on trying to get you- Play without the ball and then
add the ball- Once the players have the balls
at their feet they would pass and try to hit you below the knee with their ball
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!
