Other Foot Lottery
Also called Left Foot Lottery
Pick a slip from the cup and shoot using that rule.
At a glance
- Write six slips and put them in a cup: other foot, side-foot, laces, left post, right post, follow in.
- Your child picks a slip and shoots from 5 big steps at a goal, or two jumpers, using that rule.
- Put the slip back and pick again. Count the goals in 10 picks.
- Progress 1: Pick two slips and do both in one shot. Pick again if they clash.
- Progress 2: Same, and you count down from 5: shoot before zero.
If it's not working: Take out the left post and right post slips, so anywhere in the goal counts.
