Traffic Lights
Dribble around: red means stop dead, green means go fast, yellow means toe-taps.
Set up
- A grown-up (or you) calls the colours.
Garden, park, indoors.
How to play
- Dribble around the space.
- Red: stop the ball dead with your sole. Green: dribble fast. Yellow: toe-taps on the spot.
- Keep the calls coming and swap who calls.
Make it easier
Make it harder
- Call the colours faster.
- Add a fourth colour with your own move.
Three things to say
- React to the call, then small touches.
Colts habit
Work hard: little and often beats one long go.
Both feet
Do a round with the practice foot only.
Heads up
Look up between touches.
Safety: Pick a clear, flat space, look out for traffic and hazards, and stop if anything hurts. Soft ball indoors.
Keeping score: Not counted. Play it for fun.
