Funny Turns
Funny Turns
Set-up
Area: Circle, 10 yards radius
Players: 8
Equipment: 12 cones, 8 balls
The Rules
The players start in center of the circle with a ball each.
Nominate a player to audition their funny turn. This can be any way they know of turning with the ball, however unorthodox. The player, dribbles to one of the outside cones and shows a turn that all the others must watch.
If you are happy with the turn then the player dribbles back and all of the players get 1 minute to practice the turn they have just watched.
After the rehearsal the players have to work their way around a cone and back to the center of the circle.
Make sure everyone has a chance to audition a turn.
The first player displays their funny turn.
The rest of the players try to copy it.
Variation
You pick who did the copycat best and let them be the next Funny Player.
Hint
No matter how easy or hard the turn, give the players lots of praise and encourage them to try different things.
