Place one empty container such as a box, bucket, half cone or bowl in each of the four corners of a square area. Place another container with four tennis balls in the center of the area. Allow at least five feet from the middle container to the corners. Have a child grab a ball from the center container and run to one of the corners, bend and place the ball in the container, stand up and run back to the middle bucket. Repeat until all four corners are filled, then do it in reverse to clean up. Divide into teams or use a stopwatch for extra fun.
