Got my first coaching job this year for a local high school where I am going to college. We are running a youth camp this week and I will be working with QBs. I'm just trying to find some fun drills to do with the kids. I have about 20 minutes with each group the first day and then a little more the next. I plan on going over the basics such as grip, throwing motion, stance, snap, and drop but I would like for them to have a little fun. The age will range 3rd through 7th grade.

with the youngsters at a camp, they seem to enjoy doing movement drills, ala an obstacle course type of things... those drills you might have you qb do where he's in the pocket then has to escape and make a throw.
example:
set up cones as an ol... place cones/bags out to the right. qb 5 step drops, pumps, then "escapes" to the right and has to weave through a couple of cones, then step over 2 bags and throw into a net.
nothing techincal being taught, just mere fun on escaping a pass rush ... lol.
after doing the basic throwing drills, we went to a couple of "drills" such as these.

x............x...........x.............x...........x
x............x...........x.............x...........x
x............x...........x.............x...........x
x............x...........x.............x...........x
.......q..........q...........q............q
simple and fun. Each x is a reciever. give each kid a number (secretly) so that only he knows his own number. each qb has a football. before the cadence call out 2 numbers (the primary receivers) who will after cadence throw TWO hands in the air to show "im open" while all of the non primary rec throw up one hand. The first two qbs to get completions to actual receivers get a point, throwing a pick to non primary rec costs a point.
great fun.
