Watch the Video Above
PE
All you need is a pair of socks rolled into a ball and a box or basket of some kind. I've included a video of me demonstrating the activity. I set the basket up in all kinds of different areas to try and create a variety of challenging/trick shots. Get creative with how you get the socks in the basket. Bounce off 1 wall, 2 walls, roll socks down the stairs, shoot over chairs or tables, shoot through a hula-hoop, stand backward etc. Be sure to be careful around the house and check with an adult about where you can play safely without the possibility of breaking anything.
