7-Inch Blue Construction Ball Games for Kids

Quick answer

The 7-inch Blue Construction playground ball from Crocodile Creek is perfect for classic games like kickball, dodgeball, and foursquare. Use these step-by-step game ideas to get kids ages 3 and up moving indoors or outdoors.

Step-by-step game ideas

1. Kickball relay: Set up two cones about 15 feet apart. Have each child kick the ball from one cone to the other and back. The next child in line goes when the ball returns. Common mistake: Kicking too hard sends the ball off course. Keep kicks soft and controlled. Use soft kicks to keep the ball on the path.
2. Dodgeball toss: Mark a safe zone with chalk or tape. One child stands in the middle while others throw the ball gently from outside the zone. The middle child tries to dodge the ball. Common mistake: Throwing too hard can scare younger kids. Use underhand tosses only. Always use underhand throws for safety.
3. Foursquare basics: Draw a foursquare court on the ground with chalk. Each child takes a square. Bounce the ball once in your square, then hit it into another player's square. Common mistake: Letting the ball bounce twice before hitting. Only one bounce is allowed. One bounce per turn keeps the game fair.
