Select lines five paces and ten paces from the pylon.
Player selects an object (beanbag, rubber chicken, stuffed animal) and projects it at the pylon.
Player scores one point for landing in the hoop, two points for hitting the pylon, three points if the object stays on the pylon but does not knock it over, and doubles all the points when starting from the ten pace line.
Play against other participants and player with the most points after 10 attempts is the winner.
Wall Bull’s Eye: Make targets on the wall using tape, paper or clown faces.
Speed Bull's Eye: Who can score most points in a specified amount of time
Bounce Eye: Using a ball, ball must bounce off the wall before hitting the hoop or pylon
Send the object away using an implement (e.g., stick, golf club, scoop, etc).
Group Wall Ball: Four to six players stand around the hoop from the various paces. Everyone goes at once therefore increasing the chances that the target will move or that objects will collide.
What happens to your accuracy when you choose to shoot from further distances?
The further away, the more difficult it is to hit a target.
Need to make a decision about which line you will shoot from and balance that with the number of points that you are trying to obtain.
Decrease the distance by marking lines which are 3 paces and 6 paces from the pylon.
Modify the equipment: Use a textured ball.
Play with a peer assistant who will help to position the players.
Players can roll the ball on the ground at the pylon.

Communication and Interpersonal Skills
Did everyone choose to throw the object the same way? What were some creative ways that people used when throwing the object at the target?
Why is creativity important? Does being creative relate to being active and eating healthy?
When being physically active, how can we be creative? How can we be creative when eating healthy?
