Sharks and minnows
This is a great game for ending a group lesson and for developing eye-hand coordination. Sharks are the catchers and minnows are the hitters. The pro picks one child to be the minnow on one side of the court. The other students are sharks and go to the other side. The minnow throws or lightly hits a ball to the sharks, who get one bounce before they have to catch it. The shark who catches the ball gets to be the next minnow. Younger children may need two bounces. Another option is to let the sharks hold a small cone to catch the ball with.
