I have been training little kids between 5 and 7. Since I grew up playing soccer and know the game, I enjoy playing with the kids, I divide the team in two and switch players in my team, so they all have the chance to be on my team, they all want to be in my team or the goalie. When I started to train them, they gave me like 20 balls and I return 19, you need only one to play the game. My advise is divide the team in two use a common goalie and whoever scores becomes the goalie. The way little kids learn is by just playing and running around, I insist in passing the ball and the one that doesn't pass won't be on my team.
That definitely worked because my kids last summer were invincible on their category, very aggressive with the ball and were not afraid of the going after it, they scored as many goals as they wanted.
