This another silly game that young kids love. It works year-round, but is especially relevant right around Easter.
Start by making a circle with discs large enough to fit all of your players balls into. Ask your players to tell you what an Egg Hunt is. After everyone understands the idea of finding eggs and collecting them in their basket, explain that the circle of discs is actually a big basket, and that all of the balls in it are eggs.
To start the game, you'll simply throw out all the eggs into your playing area, as fast as you can, and then your players will quickly chase them down and dribble them back to the basket. It sounds basic but with little kids it works.
To stretch this game a little bit into older ages, set up two teams, each with their own basket at opposite ends of the field. The players start at their own end. The coaches have all the balls in the middle at one side line. To start the game, throw the balls up high into the air towards the center of the field, allowing the kids to start chasing them down. Having extra balls helps make this one work.
