Week 12: Nov. 3-7, 1997

IA Name: Fancy Dribbling

Grade Level: 2-5

 Equipment: Appropriate sized balls to hand dribble with, (i.e., playground balls, basketballs), uptempo music like the "Globtrotter Theme (Sweet Georgia Brown)", tape/cd player, cones to define the boundaries of the playing area.

Directions:

As students enter the playing area instruct them to pick up a ball of their choice to dribble with their hands. Then they are to find a good self space and face the teacher with the ball between their feet. When the music starts they are to dribble all over the playing area. Encourage them to keep their eyes up so they don't run into others.

When the music stops they are to stop and practice dribbling in their own self space. Encourage them to practice "fancy dribbling" (i.e., behind back, between legs, turning around, etc.) while in this stationary position. When the music starts again they are off and moving again.

Use our Cue Check List Sheet assess your students dribbling skills.
