Instant Activity:

 

Materials needed: 1 ball to dribble per 2 students 

Description of Idea

Students pair-up and have a ball to juggle with their feet. The students decide who will exercise and who will juggle first. On the teachers command, one student juggles with any body parts except arms 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.

Assessment Ideas: This is a nice time to see how your students are doing with their soccer juggling skills.
