Anything where they get to touch the football. They love it.

We did an obstacle course using all football related skills, ie, running the hoop for DL, tackling dummy, catching the ball, etc. The kids loved it.
We also had a POPCICLE station.
The biggest hits were the flag football games. We had our players coach and ref. They loved that too, both the players and campers.

10-15 minutes warming up and playing catch with HS kids
5 minutes of motivation, what the program means, why we love football, etc...
40 minutes of offensive stations (7-8 minutes/station with water in between) Stations include throwing, catching, running, and blocking
40 minutes of defensive stations. Stations include tackling, pass coverage, finding the ball carrier, and a competitive drill area (obstacle course, cover a HS kid, try to run down(tackle) a HS kid, etc...)
20 minutes of touch football

Let them tackle the soft tackling dummies. Also catching passes and taking handoffs before running through cones or bags is a huge hit. Finally, the biggest thing we've every come across at our little kid (first grade through 5th grade) football camps is actually letting them put on helmets, shoudler pads, and jerseys and then do the same drills - running, catching, etc. The kids and the parents LOVED it! Make sure you have plenty of your own players around to help with the gear (and the drills).
