Age – 6-9

Equipment:

Objective:

To engage student’s accuracy with punting and kicking

Directions:

Students will be divided into several different teams, no more than four to a team at most.
There will be several hoops or dream rings laid down at one half of the gym.
Beginning at the foul line, students must attempt to kick or punt a soccer or beach ball into one of the several dream rings according to their skill level.
If the students make the kick or punt on the first try they have the opportunity to kick or punt the ball into a vertical hoop, which will be strung from the wall for extra points.
After each successful kick or punt into a hoop, students must step back to the next line on the gymnasium floor to kick or punt their next shot.
If the corresponding student on the opposing team makes the punt before the other student, they are then temporarily eliminated from the game.
During the time in which they are eliminated, the students must dribble a soccer ball with both feet around the court one time before being allowed back into the game.
Kicks are worth one point, and punts are worth three.
The first team to reach or surpass the number twenty-one wins the game.
