Slam dunk games for kids are designed to boost kids' athletic confidence as well as their self-esteem. Although regulation basketball hoops are too tall for kids to dunk on, slam dunk games can be played with a variety of different children and youth hoops. For kids who are younger than 10, the basketball hoop should be no more than 6 feet tall. For kids in middle school, move the hoop up to 7 or even 8 feet.
Slam Dunk Tournament
This slam dunk game gives your child three opportunities to make his best dunk. With the help of two other parents, judge each of the three dunks within a 10-point scale. Each dunk should be judged based on difficulty, execution and hang time. Any missed dunk will automatically be counted as a zero. Although many contests require you to calculate an average for the final score, dunk contests require you to pick the top score for each player. As a result, your child can perform the same dunk three times, improving with each attempt. The winner of the tournament is the kid who receives the highest score at the end of three rounds.
Slam Dunk H.O.R.S.E.
This slam dunk game is very similar to the basketball game H.O.R.S.E. Have two kids line up at the top of the court. On your whistle, have the first kid dribble toward the basket and perform a dunk. If the first kid makes it, the second kid is required to imitate and execute the first player's dunk. If the second player misses his imitation dunk, she gets a letter "H." The first player to receive all five letters is the loser of the game. According to GrowTall.com, the two-handed slam dunk is the most basic dunk in basketball. As a result, it is in your kid's best interest during this game to attempt more difficult and challenging dunking techniques.
Slam Dunk Doubles Game
This slam dunk game requires a partner as well as two opponents. Have your kid and his partner line up at the half-court line. On your whistle, instruct them to pass the ball back and forth to each other. Once they reach the top of the key, have your child lob the ball up to his teammate for an "alley-oop" slam. After one attempt, your kid then passes the ball off to the opposing team so they can take a shot at making an "alley-oop." The team with the highest number of successful slams at the end of 10 rotations is the winner.
