Hoops set up at each end. Basketballs spread out around the court. Flat cones placed in a line on the sidelines (two different colours. One colour on each side like in the picture). Kids split into 2 teams (Red and Blue). The object is to score the balance the ball you scored with on a flat cone, then get another ball, and do it again. Game is over when all balls are gone, or one team has filled up all their cones.
Score in the right basket. You can put a marker by each hoop so they know which team is going for which basket. Balance on the right coloured cone. Use bibs to signal what player is in what team. Change teams around so everyone gets a win, and a go in each colour.
