Rainbow Multi-Use Sport Ball Pack
When it comes to sport balls, we have the perfect option for every class! Choose from three unique and durable ball covers to customize your game play for any experience level and play style. Or purchase them all!
TuffSport. A 2.5 mm foam layer for more cushion during impact for more comfortable play. This makes the ball soft and friendly for indoor play, while a woven cover keeps durability high for rugged playground use. The cover's subtle texture increases control for more confident play.
SofTread. A tacky 1 mm polyurethane cover with a texture similar to the tread on tires provides improved grip! It also provides a soft surface that is friendly on students’ hands.
SofTex. Made of soft, durable PVC, this sport ball cover provides a uniquely grippy texture that improves accuracy and catching ability for beginners. A lightweight design provides a positive experience and builds confidence on the field.

15 Engaging Activity Ideas Using the Rainbow Multi-Use Sport Ball Pack
The Rainbow Multi-Use Sport Ball Pack includes durable, medium-bounce, 8.5" balls that are color-coded and suitable for a wide range of games and activities. Built for versatility, these balls work well indoors or out, and their textured, grippy surface supports confident handling for students of all ages. Designed to perform across sports like soccer, volleyball, and four square, this pack is perfect for building foundational physical skills. Below are 15 unique and imaginative activity ideas using this pack to promote physical literacy, cooperation, and fundamental movement development in physical education classes.
1. Bouncy Battle Royale: In a marked-off grid, students dribble their ball while trying to tap other students’ balls out of bounds using foot or hand contact (depending on age level). Builds dodging, dribbling, and spatial awareness.
2. Color Kick Chaos: Set up cone goals for each team color. Students must pass and kick their colored Rainbow ball into their matching goal, building teamwork, kicking accuracy, and coordination.
3. Rainbow Roll Relay: In teams, students roll their ball through a winding cone path using gentle underhand rolls. Emphasizes rolling accuracy, body control, and patience.
4. Catch Me Off Guard: Partners stand across from each other and toss the ball at varying heights and angles to build anticipation and improve catching and hand-eye coordination.
5. High Bounce Hustle: Students bounce their ball high in the air, run to a cone and back, and catch the ball before it hits the ground. Reinforces timing, tracking, and agility.
6. Circle Strike Challenge: Students stand in a circle and try to roll their ball to strike a cone in the center without it being blocked by other students. Develops rolling control and defensive awareness.
7. Cone Collector Kickoff: Each team has a pile of cones and must use kicks to knock them over from a distance with their Rainbow ball. Combines kicking accuracy with competitive fun.
8. Power Push Pass: Students work in pairs to perform two-hand chest passes and bounce passes back and forth, trying to reach a specific target zone. Great for throwing accuracy and cooperation.
9. Balancing Ball Blitz: Students balance their Rainbow ball on different body parts (palm, shoulder, foot) and try to walk across a beam or line. Builds balance and body control.
10. Volleyball Bop It: Using volleyball-style taps, students keep the ball in the air in small groups. The challenge: count how many hits before it drops. Focuses on striking, timing, and teamwork.
11. Wall Ball Wonders: Students stand a set distance from a wall and perform bounce passes to themselves, alternating throwing hands. Reinforces consistency in throwing and catching.
12. Color Corner Tag: Assign one colored ball to each corner of the gym. Students with matching colored balls must reach their corner while being tagged by “chasers” in the middle. Focuses on dodging, sprinting, and strategy.
13. Bounce & Bowl Bash: Students bounce the ball once, then try to roll it under a low barrier or into a designated target. Combines bounce control and rolling finesse.
14. Side Shuffle Shootout: Students side-shuffle between cones and stop to kick or throw their ball into a goal. Increases cardiovascular fitness and hand/foot manipulation accuracy.
15. Bounce Buddy Brawl: In pairs, students must bounce their ball and try to bump their partner’s ball out of a circle while protecting their own. Teaches defense, strategy, and ball control..
