Monkey in the Middle

Have three people line up and give one person on the end a ball. Allow only bounce passes. The people on the ends can dribble toward the person in the middle, but cannot pass them up. Once the person in the middle gets the ball, the player who made the mistake goes in the middle.

Instructions

After awhile blow the whistle and make sure everyone has been in the middle. If not make sure they do that.

Tips

Make sure they have already learned the basics of how to do a bounce pass. Great for grades 1-8!

Skills

Bounce passing, working around the defense.
