The other day I was looking for a different type of kicking activity to do with my students. \u00a0I decided to take a look at Coach Pirillo\u2019s YouTube channel for inspiration. I came across a game called Colorful Pins<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0What was unique about this game is that he had his students kicking a deck ring across the floor rather than a ball. I decided I wanted to try this game out with my students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since I didn\u2019t have three foot tall inflatable pins that Ben was using with his classes, I had to modify the activity with the<\/span>\u00a0equipment I had on hand. The pins that Ben were using were the six colors of a rainbow. There were also cards of similar color that would be collected if you hit a pin with the deck ring. My idea was to use my rainbow colored buckets. They are much smaller and lighter than the pins. I added 8-10 bean bags to each bucket to weigh them down so they would not move much or get knocked over. <\/span><\/p>\n

I then went to Coach Pirillo\u2019s website to download the free cards<\/a><\/strong> he made available.\u00a0<\/span>After downloading the set of cards, I laminated them so they would hold up over time.<\/span><\/p>\n
