Material

  • Dot 4x (4 colors)
  • Kernel bag 10x
  • Pawn 4x
  • Block 6x
  • Ball 4x
  • Hoop 2x

Organization

Have each child/group start at a different section so they don’t line up.

Points of interest

  • Watching where you throw to
  • Making hands like a bowl when you want to catch

For right-handers:

  • Bag in right hand
  • Left foot in front of the dot, right foot on the dot
  • Pointing with your left hand where you are throwing
  • Watching where you throw

For left-handers, this applies in reverse
