Begin by telling students that they are going to practice skills associated with basketball.
Demonstrate how to properly dribble, pass the basketball, and bounce the ball to someone else.

Body of Lesson

Explain to students that you will call out a direction for them to complete and then pass or bounce it to a partner.
Begin by pairing off students and giving each pair one basketball. Have one partner on one side or the gym/room behind a tape line and one on the other side.
Start simple by having the partner with the ball dribble for a three count and then bounce the ball to a partner, have the partner do the same.
Continue to change the orders to challenge students (dribble the pass without the ball bouncing, dribble for a five count without stopping and then pass the ball but let it bounce twice before it gets to the partner, etc.)

Closing

Allow students to take turns trying to shoot baskets.
