SETUP
- Using four cones create an area up to 30m x 20m. Modify the size depending on the number of players
- Place other cones randomly within the area 3. Every player has a ball
HOW TO PLAY
- Each player dribbles around the area (driving their car) without hitting another car or lamp post (cone)
- You call out which part of the foot the players use to control the ball as they dribble
- The aim for the players is to stop beside every cone (which doubles as a petrol station) and perform 5 toe taps (to fill up)
- Only one player at a time can stop at a cone, and the aim is to fill up at every petrol station quicker than anyone else
