Something I do and anyone with access to a cage should be able to do this. Set up a bucket with a screen about 20' from home plate. Get a few buckets of balls and front toss them while sitting on the bucket. It doesn't put a lot of wear and tear on your body and the kids gets a lot of reps on a short period. Also gets them work on discriminating good and bad pitches, you can mix in change ups, simulate rise balls etc. I also do this and simulate game situations.
Something else I do is a game where I'll front toss to three kids and tell them they are down 0-1 and have to win the inning. We work on pitch selection during various counts and the three of them try to work as a team to beat me.
