How to play
How to play
The aim of this game is to score as many points as possible by throwing a ball into a basket or hoop. Students record successful and unsuccessful attempts to display results as a picture graph.
Students stand at the starting line and throw bean bags with their right hand first.
Each time a bean bag lands in the hoop, students place a counter or a tally mark under the heading ‘right’ on their piece of paper.
Students run to collect the bean bag from the hoop and hop back to the starting line to have a second throw.
Repeat this until students have thrown bean bags 10 times with their right hand and then 10 times with their left hand.
Students draw a picture chart in their mathematics workbook to represent the amount of bean bags that successfully landed in the hoop with their left hand and right hand.
