🎾 CARDIO TENNIS BALL GAME 🎾
MATERIALS NEEDED
Tennis Balls
Timer (stop watch)
Bucket (to hold all balls in the middle of area)
4 Mini buckets for each corner of a square, plates, or half cones (something to contain the ball at least). The half cone markers add a little extra challenge to make sure the ball stays on the cone. The player must have a bit more control with each movement!
HOW TO SET UP THE TENNIS BALL GAMES
You need a large space to start with so this is probably a better out door activity. Set a bucket of 4 tennis balls in the middle of the area and place 4 half cone markers (buckets or plates) around it making a square (one at each corner). I would give at least 2-3 metres from the middle bucket to the corner on each side.
HOW TO PLAY THE TENNIS BALL GAME
Have the player start in the middle. They must grab a ball from the middle and move to a cone, bend over and place ball on top, stand up and move back to middle bucket. Repeat until all 4 corners are filled and then do it in reverse to clean up! Check your time! Can you beat it? Change each turn by doing different activities to the corners eg, crab walking, bear walking, backwards walking etc.
