2 or more

1 medium-sized ball OR basketball per child

1. the lead partner starts dribbling
2. the follower tries to mirror all lead partner’s dribble movements

Change the environment: designate a specific space for the child and their partner to dribble, away from other children to decrease cognitive demand

Change the task: have the lead partner give verbal direction or cues to the other partner to decrease physical and cognitive demand

Change the task:

• have the lead partner dribble and take steps simultaneously to increase the physical demand
• have the partners switch roles on a signal to increase the cognitive demand

• the child will be able to lead the movements with a partner for 30 seconds while using a larger, bouncier ball
• I can mirror my partner by bouncing the ball faster and slower when they do
