CRAFT: Jersey Time / Mini Goals / Cardboard Backboard
Let each child make their own basketball jersey. Use a plain white shirt and either paint brushes or your hands to decorate your jersey.
Mini Basketball goals
Cut the bottom out of a paper cup, decorate and then stand cup on rim. Use a small hacky sack type ball or crumple up paper or foil into a ball shape.
Try to make as many goals in a row as you can.
Cardboard backboard
Cut out a square of cardboard (cereal box sides also work well). Glue a square piece of white paper to the cardboard.
Draw a square with the top near the center. Use an orange pipe-cleaner and poke through the cardboard to make the goal.
