Skill 1 : Throw

Keywords (repeat & clap): The throw, two hands, near the ear, push

Story: Paco the parrot is hungry (hula hoop), and we will throw a mango (football) in his mouth to feed him.

2-3YO: Children will get the football and parents the hula hoop from the coaches. Parents will space themselves out in the playing area with their child. Parents will hold the hula hoop and child will push the football in Paco’s mouth. Remind parents to start close and then slowly back away. If it is too easy, parents can move back or bring hula hoop higher.

4-6YO: Set up a medium cone (for children to line up behind with their football), an orange cone for the child whose turn it will be to do their throw in and three hoops and bean bags near the cones. The coach will hold the hula hoop for the child to throw the ball in. Once the child has their turn, they will get their ball and jump in the hula hoops, tiptoe on the bean bags, and go behind their line. Make two groups, two set ups and one group per coach.

Skill 2 : Big Kick

Keywords (repeat & clap): Big Kick, three steps back, look, kick

Story: Our spaceship (football) fell out of the sky, we need to send it back into space.

2-3YO: Children will get the football and dome cone from the coaches. Parents will space themselves out in the playing area with their child ensuring the kicks are not facing another child. Parents will help place the spaceship on the cone for kids to kick.

4-6YO: Coaches place dome cones in a straight line distanced apart and have children kick on your signal facing the same direction. Once they kicked, have children go get their ball and place it back on their cone to do again.

Skill 3 : Touch-Down

Keywords (repeat & clap): Touchdown, armpit, hug

Story: We need to protect and hide a diamond from the evil thief (coach or parents).

2-3YO: Coaches set up two rectangular endzones with medium cones (one at each end of the playing space). Children get the footballs from the coaches. Parents chase their child from one endzone to the next and when children get to an endzone, they do an endzone dance and put the ball down. The it is the parents turn.

4-6YO: Coaches set up two rectangular endzones with cones (one at each end of the playing space). Children get the footballs from the coaches. Coaches stand in the middle of the playing space and wait for the children to cross over to the other endzone. If a child is touched by a coach, the child needs to help the coaches stop children from getting to the other endzone.
