Mannequins are in red as defenders. Players play give & goes, then wide player (A) has to either get beyond the first defender & deliver the ball between them/ behind both defenders to cross the ball for the initial receiver (F) to finish. Crosser must then receive (F) for the next give & go. Alternate sides. Could also send in both receivers (F) to finish.
Ball speed & quality of the pass/cross. Emphasise that the finisher does not get into the box to early. Could add passive defenders if having the numbers.
