Follow The Leader Game

– Make 10 x 10 metre squares using cones and break players into groups of four; one group per square.
– One player, the player at the front of the single-file line of group members, is the leader.
– He/She must lead the others along the perimeter of the square.
– The leader must also call out the pathway / direction that he/she is leading the group in.
– The directions would include forward, backward, sideways, diagonally (cutting from one corner to the other on an angle; show players what a diagonal is) and curved (leader takes players into the center of the square and goes around in a half a circle; show players how).
– When the coach gives the signal, the leader drops to the last and the second person in line becomes the new leader.
– Progress to having a second signal that means the lines change directions (the player who is last in line becomes the new leader).
– Progress to using all space inside of the square.
