Exercise

With all players, try to throw the ball over 5x without it hitting the ground.
The game leader and child A begin to throw the ball over 5x without hitting the ground.

Successful?
Then one child joins and the three of you must pass the ball 5 times.

Fail?
Then the children who were in the field must close at the back and a new child enters the field with the supervisor and you start over again.

Will all the children eventually manage to be in the field?

Simpler: Do not throw the ball over 5x, but for example 3x.
More challenging: Put 1 defender in the field (wearing a ribbon)
