Password Basketball Stations

15 to 20 cones, deck tennis rings, basketballs and 3 x 5 index cards. The cones are spread out in the gym with a basketball on a deck tennis ring next to the cone. A spelling word written on a 3 x 5 card is taped to the cone. Partners or groups of three will go to a cone and practice the chest pass. Each pass is a letter in the word on the cone. When they have spelled the word they will go to the next cone. This continues for about 2 minutes. Stop the activity and show the class the next pass to practice. Partners should not go to the same cone twice unless they have gone to every cone once. Thsi is a good activity for catching, passing, eye-hand coordination, cooperation and teamwork. It also intergrates spelling from the classroom.
