- 3 lightweight plastic containers without sharp edges
- 1 large bucket placed upside down
- 1 soft ball
- Markers for two intersecting lines
How to play
- Divide the space into four sections with intersecting lines. Put an upside-down bucket at the centre and stack the three containers on it. Four players take one section each: one thrower and three defenders.
- From their section, the thrower has up to three underarm throws to knock down the stack. If all three miss, rotate roles.
- After a successful hit, the thrower retrieves and restacks the containers on the bucket. Defenders retrieve the ball, but may touch it only when it is in their own section.
- Defenders pass the ball between them, then roll it at the central bucket. Never aim at a person. The thrower wins by completing the stack first; the defenders win if the ball hits the bucket first.
- After every contest, rotate players so a new person throws and the others take their next roles. Finish when everyone has been thrower once and defender three times.
Ways to adapt
Preschool: stack with a caregiver while an adult rolls slowly. Younger primary: use a large ball. Older primary: cooperate through passes between sections.
