Help kids judge line better

I'm thinking about of a few ideas that can help the kids judge line a bit better. Wanted to get your thoughts. Drill: 3 stumps + 1 on 4th stump and 1 on leg side wide. I will then toss the ball at the various lines and the kids can then call out what stump the line of the ball was traveling in.Progression could be tossing the ball and they have to move into the correct line and catch the ball and then from there a few throw downs.Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks Carl
