Materials
- A wide-mouthed, stable container
- 5 lightweight foam rods with rounded tips
- A throwing-line marker
How to play
- Set the container on the floor and mark a throwing line 1–2 m away. Keep the space behind the container clear of people.
- Each player has five rods to throw one at a time from behind the line, aiming into the opening. Throw gently underarm, never forcefully at face height.
- A rod that enters and stays in the container scores one point. A rod bouncing out, or thrown while stepping over the line, scores nothing.
- Nobody retrieves while anyone is throwing. On the signal, collect with an adult and give the next player the same number of rods.
- Play two turns per person and total the points. Leave ties as ties. Offer a closer line to anyone finding it difficult, letting them choose a distance for another attempt.
Ways to adapt
Preschool: place rods in from close by. Younger primary: 1 m. Older primary and adults: 2 m.
