Once they have scored players must run through the tall cone gate closest to their goal and find another colour bean bag and try score again.
Encourage kids to keep their toes pointing down when dribbling the bean bags. Challenge the kids to use their right and left foot when dribbling the bean bag. Remind players to keep their head forward if they can to look for the right colour spot.
