Learning Activity #2

Mini Basketball tag

- 2-5 people are it, and are given evil red balls.
- Everyone else has a ping-pong ball or tennis ball.
- If you get tagged, stick your ball under your armpit and make a circle using
either one hand or both.
- Put your hoop, (the circle youve made with your hand(s)), in the air.
- To be freed, someone has to come and slam dunk their ball through your
hoop.
All students are participating
CAR LOT
- Designate one player to be the "car salesman" on the car lot who tries to
knock the ball away from "cars" that dribble by. It works best at first if the
coach or some other adult is the car salesman to help control the game.
- The car salesman stands in the center of the area between 2 lines about 50
feet apart (sideline to sideline or from the baseline to half-court.)
- The salesman asks players to select 4 different types of cars (motorcycle,
Ferrari, bus, SUV, etc.) Part of the fun is letting kids come up with car
names.
- Once you establish what 4 cars you are going to use for the game, each
player secretly decides what kind of car he will be.
- The car salesman calls out the name of a car. All players who chose to be that
car attempt to dribble to the other line without getting their ball knocked out
of bounds.
- The salesman continues to call out car names until all players have gone. If
the salesman calls, "Car Lot," all of the cars must go at the same time.

Time

6 minutes

14 minutes

Once all of the cars have been called, the car salesman turns to face all of the
cars at the other end and starts calling out names again. The dribblers try to
cross the court back to where they started.
- When a player loses his ball, he must stand at the spot where it was taken and
place the ball on the floor between his feet. He can't move from that spot, but
his job is to reach out and try to knock the ball away from other dribblers that
go by.
- The game is played until there is only 1 dribbler left.
