Players each have a ball in a set area. Divide the players into two teams. Coach or players roll a large die and perform an action based on the number it lands on. Some examples could be: Dribble around the outside, freeze, toe taps, kick ups etc. Adapt thsis to the age range you are coaching. For older years this is a good way of introdcuing a fun social element by having one "punishment" task such as a physical exercise (plank, lap of a pitch, etc).
This is a good chance to add a social side to an otherwise technical exercise. By having in two teams, goals can be added and transitioned into an "attack vs defence" scenario.
