Soccer Word
I'm Fast, You're Fast
Character Phrase
Don’t steal other children’s soccer balls (In the Kinder Kixx setting, each child has their own soccer ball for the session. We are trying to encourage the children not to take other children’s balls).
Soccer Skills
Controlling the ball while dribbling, being able to start and stop your dribble on command
Reinforcement
What time is it Mr. Frog? This is a Kinder Kixx classic. Have your child line up with a soccer ball at their feet. You or someone else is Mr. Frog. Mr. Frog stands across the yard from your child. Your child asks “What time is it Mr. Frog?” Mr. Frog answers with a time (example: 3 o’clock). Your child then needs to take 3 dribbles towards Mr. Frog. Continue to repeat this as your child gets closer to Mr. Frog. If Mr. Frog says “midnight”, he chases your child back to the starting line and you start again. This game encourages ball control while dribbling and being able to start and stop your dribble on command.
