Grades: 3–5
Equipment: Ball or wadded up socks, paper plates or dots, basket or bucket
Setup: Place a basket or bucket in the middle or your play area. Scatter the plates/dots all around in various distances from the basket. Each player will need a ball/wadded up socks.
Activity Description: Players stand on one of the plates and use the underhand throw or basketball shot to get your ball into the basket. If it goes in, the player gets to keep the plate. When you miss, they will get their ball and try again from a new or same plate. Activity is over when all plates are collected. Play as many times as you want.
Extras:
Start a timer and see how long it takes for you to collect all your plates. What was your best time.
Show off your skills and challenge a partner to see who can collect the most plates. How many plates did you collect?
