"Tunnel ball relays" Try and make even teams and more numbers in each team. Pass the ball over their heads with their hands to each other, the person at the back runs to the front. Keep going until the person who started ends up back at the front. Next, through the legs, then one over one under, then last progression; child at the front places the ball on the ground and the middle kids all open their legs nice and wide making a tunnel. The front child attempts to pass the ball through their teammates legs to the teammate at the end who is getting ready to pick the ball up and run to the front to have a go. Kids in the middle can help the ball through with their hands if needed.
