Circle Multi-Pass + Teammate Echo
High-energy passing with multiple inside players and balls, followed by a quick group rhythm reset.
- Equipment: 2–3 balls, 8–12 cones, optional pinnies.
- Setup: Groups of 8–12; 2–3 players inside a marked circle; 2–3 balls moving at once.
- Play: Inside players receive and return to different outside players; constant movement and eye contact. Rotate inside roles every 60–90s.
Head or Catch
Partner game that builds listening and self-control—great as a PE drill or return-to-class activity.
- Equipment: One soft, easy-to-catch ball per pair.
- How to Play: Partner A tosses and calls “Head” or “Catch.” Rule is the opposite: if “Head,” partner catches; if “Catch,” partner taps ball to forehead (or hands-to-forehead).
- Switch: Trade roles every 5–8 tosses. Keep tosses light and controlled.
