Gate Pass

Set up

Make a gate with 2 cones, 3 big steps wide. Stand 3 big steps away.

You need: A soft ball, 2 cones, bottles or shoes. Space: a flat area about 3 m by 3 m.

What to do

1. Put the ball in front of you.
2. Look at the gate.
3. Tap it with the side of your foot.
4. Count the balls through the gate.

Cannot play this way?

• No ball: Push a rolled-up sock through the gate with your foot.
• Indoors: Use a soft sponge ball on a carpet.

Play safe

• Play on a flat, dry, clear place.
• Wear shoes that stay on your feet.
• A grown-up watches nearby.
• Stop if you feel tired or hurt. Drink water after.
• Tap gently. Never kick at people.
• Your body, your pace.

Try this next

• Use your other foot.
• Stand one big step further back.

Maths: Count your passes through the gate.
