FOUR CORNER DRILL

A square or rectangle is marked out. Large enough to challenge students, but not so large as to dishearten them.

Students are paired up and spread themselves inside the playing area.

Pairs sit down back to back and are given a number each, either one or two.

On the call of their number students stand up and run to touch all four corners of the playing area and return to their partner.

EQUIPMENT: Cones.

AREA REQUIRED: Basketball court or any other area, indoor or outdoor that allows the whole class to move freely.
