Lesson Title: NBA Dribble Relay Race
Grades: K-5
Equipment: 30 cones, NBA Logo Signs, NBA tickets, 2 basketballs, bags for tickets, and a map of USA.
Description: Students will be separated into 2 equal teams that will start and finish in a relay formation. Students will have to have a basic familiarity with the skill of basketball dribbling before playing this game. Students will grab a ticket from their teams bag and see which NBA team is represented on the ticket. Students must dribble out into the activity area to locate the cone that has that NBA team on it. Once located the student taps the top of the cone, dribbles back to the next person in line and drops off the completed ticket in the designated bag. If students are unfamiliar with the NBA team and where it is located in relation to the USA they can look at a map to see what part of the country that team is on. The cones are spread out based on where that team is located at in the country. Cones on the left hand side of playing area would be west coast teams (LA Lakers, Portland Trailblazers, etc) and cones on right hand side would be east coast teams (Washington Wizards, Miami Heat, etc).
