A fun way to practice basketball dribbling skills with young learners. This game is played like musical chairs. Spread out hula hoops, polyspots, or cones all around the gym. Then give each player a ball to practice dribbling. When the music plays, they practice their dribbling. When the music stops, they have to find a marker. Of course, there are fewer markers than there are dribblers, so some players will be eliminated. But make sure that those who have been eliminated are still practicing their dribbling skills. This game sounds like a lot of fun. Try it out!

This is a basic lesson on dribbling a basketball. There are several cues and drills to practice dribbling. What I like about this lesson is the actual activity used to practice: capture the flag. The players have to dribble a basketball while playing this game. The game is challenging enough because part of the strategy is being quietly stealthy and sneaking in to capture the opponents flag. But now it seems that quietness will be an impossibility while dribbling a basketball. Hopefully you already know how to play capture the flag. Have fun!
