Beep Beep
A pairs reaction game: touch the body part the coach calls, and grab the ball only on Ball!
Set up
- Set up in pairs with a ball between them, spread around the area.
Appropriate playing area, a ball between 2 players.
How to play
- The coach calls out a body part and players touch that body part.
- On the call Ball, the players try to lift the ball. They get a point for lifting the ball.
- On the call Beep Beep, players put their hand in the air and shout Beep Beep. If they touch the ball on this call, their partner gets a point.
Make it easier
Make it harder
- Rotate who the players are playing.
- Try to get the ball using their feet.
Three things to say
- Listen, then react.
- Watch the ball and your partner at the same time.
- Decide fast: ball or hands up.
Colts habit
Lift each other: swap partners so everyone plays everyone.
Both feet

Heads up
Eyes on the coach and the ball.

Safety: Keep the area clear of bags and bottles. Stay on your feet, no slide tackles. No heading.
Keeping score: Each pair keeps its own count of catches. New partner each round.
