Instant Activity
Name: Dribble & Jump

Description Of Idea:
    Students pair-up and have a ball to dribble with their hand. The students decide who will exercise and who will dribble first. On the teachers command, one student dribbles with their dominant hand while the other completes jumping jacks (or any other exercise that would be appropriate--jumping rope, etc.) for a period of time set by the teacher (twenty to thirty seconds). At the end of the time period the students switch. Once that skill has been done switch to the non-dominant hand, then switching back and forth. You can be as creative as you want in giving  them dribbling skills.
