We use volleyball "dribbling" to work on forearm passing.
The players start on the base line and then walk (in proper posture) to the net while "dribbling" or passing the ball to themselves using their forearms. We generally have them all facing the same direction (right, left, facing the net, finally walking backwards).
Coaching points:
Dribbling means bouncing. Basketball players are required to bounce the basketball on the floor as they move across the basketball court, rather than just carrying the basketball in their hands. This is intended to create an opportunity for other players to grab the ball. It is an added challenge to be able to dribble the ball without losing it.
Double dribbling is where the person with the ball is either dribbling with 2 hands at the same time, or most likely, they are dibbling, then stop, and then start dribbling again. When you stop dribbling legally you only have 3 options: piviot, pass the ball, or shoot.
A player who is dribbling the ball is "alive". But if you stop dribbling, and hold it up with 2 hands "dead". then if you dribble again, that's Double Dribble.
To dribble in basketball terms is to bounce the ball up and down with your hand. You can bounce the ball with either hand with your finger tips or the palm of your hand.
