This game is great for developing object control, locomotor skills, fitness, stability, and positive self-esteem. x1 Football or ball x12 Large cones (or 1 litre bottles) Character sheet (printable) Sellotape and scissors Find a large clear space e.g. garden or field. Print out my character sheet, cut out the characters and colour in. Place x2 cones together (about 1 metre apart) in a space to form a gate. Pair up the remaining cones to form gates and place in the space. Take x2 of the same character cut-outs and stick them on x2 of the cones (1 on each cone). Each set of x2 cones will have a character on, i.e. me, FI or T-NESS. Call out a character name for the child, and the child then has to find the x2 cones with the character on and run through that gate as quickly as possible. Once the child has had a few goes at this and they have got the hang of it, the child then does exactly the same thing but this time they have to try and dribble the ball through the gate with their feet. This game is so much fun when playing against friends, the first through the gate when a character is called out gets the points.

To start the game, raise a coloured disc in the air e.g. amber (GO SLOW). The child(ren) must then drive their car very slowly around the space using their steering wheel to turn away from other cars in the space. 10. 1 Rapid Racing Cars GO SLOW, GO FAST, STOP discs (printable) A camera to capture some FUN Rapid Racing Car memories Rapid Racing Cars Start and finish signs (printable) Rapid Racing Cars helmet and goggles (printable) x20 Small cones (or plastic bottles) Rapid Racing Cars steering wheel (printable) A4 Card Sellotape & scissors x4 Flag sticks Give the child(ren) a few go s of the game but vary the discs that are being held up. Once the child(ren) have got used to the coloured discs, it s then time to progress to some races. Use the x20 small cones to make a large circular racing track, place x2 large cones about 1 metre apart to create the start line. Sellotape the start flags to each of the large cones. Place the remaining x2 large cones (again about 1 metre apart) at the end of the track to create a finish line. Again Sellotape the finish flags to the large cones. TIME TO RACE! Two of the children will start the race on the start line alongside each other - get them to start their engines again. Once a coloured disc is held in the air, they can GO. This time the green disc can be used more often, but you may wish to use the amber and red discs at certain points during the race to check they are still watching. During this game, when you want the cars to stop, use the amber disc to slow their cars down first then the red disc to get them to completely stop. Once the STOP disc is held up they must refuel their cars (get them to hold their hand out to their side as though they are refuelling their cars). Once refuelled, hold up the GO FAST disc to get the race back underway.

Get the child to stand in a space with the ball beside them on the floor. Get the child to show you their BIG hand; they are going to use their big hand to take their ball for a walk around the space (by pushing the ball). The child must keep looking up to see which disc is being held up - the green disc is GO FAST the amber disc is GO SLOW and the red disc is STOP. Vary which discs are being held up to check the child is watching. Once the child has got the hang of the 3 coloured discs, introduce the body parts cards. Whilst the child is taking the ball for a walk (by pushing the ball with their big hand), different body parts cards can be held up i.e. head, foot, hand. When the child sees the body part being held up, they must make sure that body part is stuck to the ball as fast as they can. Play a few rounds of this game until the child understands they have to keep looking up whilst taking their ball for a walk and keep checking which coloured disc is being shown and which body part card is being held up. To make this game more fun, play this game with a group of friends to see who can be the Sticky Ball champion.
