Get Active: Football Variety

Thursday 6th February 2014

Many of us have a hall that is too small to play 5 a side football, so have you considered some football variety?

Numbers football

Split group into two teams, each numbered. Leader calls out a number and those numbers run out to try to score against their opponent. You can try two numbers at a time if space allows. To make it more interesting call out quiz questions to which the answer is a number e.g. opposite to 6 on a dice

Cone Ball

Give each child a cone which they have to defend whilst attempting to knock over others’ cones using a ball (lightweight or sponge ball). If the cone is knocked over by the ball, that defender leaves the game. You can make the game more interesting by adding a second ball.

All corners

Individuals/Pairs work together to defend their goal which is situated in a corner of the hall (4 goals), whilst attempting to score in any of the other 3 goals.
