Make up two teams (The teams for the final game). Depending on the size of the group, create a box marked off. The objective for each team is to string together 10 passes in a row. This is without the other team stealing/intercepting the ball off them OR without them kicking the ball out; past the cones. If a team gets 10 passes in a row, they get a point and must turn the ball over to the other team.
