Teacher & School: Unknown
Activity Grade Level
Ghost Busters (Foot Dribbling) 1 - 2
Equipment Needs 1 ball / student
Facility/Playground Needs Blacktop or field (Cone off boundaries about the size of a basketball court; smaller size for students in the earlier stages of dribbling. )
Lesson Objective (Psychomotor and/or Cognitive):

The purpose of this lesson is to develop the skill of foot dribbling as used in such games as soccer.
Teaching Hints:
  • Students should gently tap the ball so that it stays within three to four feet of them at all times.
  • They should tap the ball with the inside if their foot - left and right.
  • They should look for open spaces as they travel.
Description:

Choose two students to be "Ghost Busters". All other players have a ball and are the ghosts. Ghosts begin on the same line with their ball. Ghost Busters are in the middle of the play area. On signal, ghosts attempt to safely dribble the ball with their feet to the other side. The ghost busters attempt to steal the balls away from the ghosts by kicking away their balls. Ghosts that lose their ball become a Ghost Buster also. The last ghost left with a ball wins that game.
Alternatives/Modifications

For more experienced students, try having the ghosts be in partners; kicking the ball back and forth to one another. Ghost Busters try to steal from partners.
