Tactical Focus:
Aim and Accuracy
|
 |
Two players face each other approximately 20 paces apart with various obstacles in between them (e.g., pylons, beanbags, milk jugs, etc). This represents the junkyard. |
|
Each player has 3 skittles (e.g., bowling pin, pylon, ball) that are placed on their side. |
|
Each player is also given 1 beanbag which must be thrown underhand and it must remain in contact with the ground while travelling through the junkyard. |
|
The object is to hit the opposing players 3 skittles down while trying to avoid the obstacles in the middle. |
|
Once each player has thrown a beanbag, the opposing player retrieves the other player's beanbag and attempts to hit down a skittle |
|
The player to knock down all three skittles first is declared the winner. |
|
 |
 |
|
Bounce Junkyard: Players use a ball and try to bounce it over the junkyard to hit the skittles |
|
Replace beanbag with a ball and an implement (e.g., hockey stick, golf club) and participants attempt to knock over skittles while projecting the ball with the implement. |
|
Safety Awareness: Obstacles in the junkyard could represent items that children should avoid (e.g., needles, glass, matches, etc). |
|
Vary the distance of each skittle making some further away and spread them out. |
