Put students into teams of 3 or 4. Set up 6 Mini games with one goal at the end of each playing area. The playing area will depend on how much space you have but try aim to make each game area 15 metres length and 10 metres width. There will be no goal keepers to begin with as the goals will be small (3 metres). When the ball goes out of play rather than taking a throw in, the players must pass to a team mate instead. If the ball goes out for goal kick or a team has scored then that team must retreat back to their half so it gives the other team a chance to play forward with no pressure. 

The students will now get a chance to put the skills they have worked on into a game like situation, games with smaller numbers mean more involvment. They will play 5 minute games before playing against a new team. 

Can add in rules such as: must complete 2 passes before scoring, if a team completes 5 passes it counts as a goal, add goal keepers in, etc.
