How to play
How to play
Teams race to collect bean bags to make a target number.
Identify number to make, eg. 15.
Players take turns to roll a die and run to get the number of bean bags to build up their total. Place beanbags in hoop.
Continue until a team gets the exact roll to complete their total.
Teams call out 'stop' when they have reached their total.
Talk about how many you have, how many more you need, what strategies you used, and so on.
Reflect and discuss:
If you were to play the game again tomorrow, what is one thing you would do differently? Why?
Draw a picture that shows how you made your total.
Variations
Variations
Play in reverse. Make the number first and take away beanbags each time until there are no beanbags left.
Make more than one number total, eg. Hoop 1 = 10, Hoops 2 = 15.
Change the number total, eg. 20, 30.
