Enchanted forest (10 mins)

Focus - Ball Literacy

Name of Game: Enchanted Forest

Organization

Set up a 20m x 20m grid. Scatter cones around grid

as “spooky trees”. Other obstacles such as rings,

hurdles or larger cones can be used as different

challenges. Start by having parent lead player with a

ball through the forest avoiding the spooky trees.

Players can pick up ball and toss it over the taller

spooky trees.

Alternatives

Easier –First explore the forest with no balls.

Harder – Have players travel from one end of the

forest on their own to rescue mom or dad, who are

stuck on the other side.

Harder – Have parent chase children through the

forest. Switch roles.
