Basketball Scramble will improve your students' ability to dribble the ball with their head up. Most appropriate for beginners, it involves lots of running, constant action and much confusion, so your students should love it!
Method
Place a large number of basketballs or playground balls in a box or container positioned at the center of the gym. Have your players scatter so they cover the court evenly.
Start the action by tossing balls out of the container in all directions as quickly as possible. Players catch the balls, dribble to the box and drop them back in. You control the pace by tossing the balls back onto the floor.
End the game by letting the container fill up with balls.
