Start here
Replace a single shooting queue with paired targets or two small games. Keep a spare ball nearby so play restarts quickly.
Make it work for your team
If a demonstration needs a turn order, keep the groups small and give waiting players a useful observing question.
A common trap
A line of two may be manageable; a line of ten usually hides a design problem. Adjust the activity rather than asking children to become more patient indefinitely.
Try this example
You have one secured goal. Use it for one small group while another plays a cone-goal game, then rotate.
Before your next session
- Choose one action from this guide and write it into your plan.
- Tell your assistant what you are trying so players hear a consistent message.
- Afterward, note what helped and what needs a different approach.
KEEP IT SIMPLEKeep the next action clear, achievable, and connected to the players.
