Challenge: See how many times you can successfully shoot your rolled up socks into the basket.
Mark a clear ‘starting line’ for your basketball toss.
Take 3 big steps from your starting line and place a basket, bucket or container at the end.
Stand at your starting line and throw your socks with your right hand.
Go back to your starting line and have your second throw.
Repeat this until you have thrown your socks 10 times with your right hand and then 10 times with your left hand.
Repeat again trying throwing backwards and with your eyes closed.
Keep a record of your progress.
