Excellent for Grades 1 -8. A former collegiate basketball player, Sandy Slade's flagship game can get kids with lower to middle level physical abilities off the bench and having fun. Kids that love the game find the drills challenging and want to master them. Basketball Skillastics is an excellent tool to develop eye-hand coordination, increase reaction time and foster teamwork. Featuring 26, challenging, yet non-competitive ball-handling drills this game builds skills that cross over to other sports and activities.
Includes:
The object of the games is simple:
- Divide your group into six teams. Each team is assigned a colored beanbag and oversized dice located around the mat. The teams are scattered throughout the playing area, away from the mat.
- The game begins with one child from each team running to the mat and rolling their team’s color die. The child moves their team’s beanbag the number of squares rolled.
- The child reads the directions on that square and reports back to his or her team and either explains the drill or points it out on a miniature game mat passed out to each team prior to play.
- After completing the drill, another child from the same team goes to the mat and repeats the process.
The emphasis is on participation, not winning or losing! Skillastic games are fun and challenging. Your students will ask to play again and again.
