Get set up

Gather the required materials: Partly filled plastic water bottle. Set them out before explaining the first round. Choose an indoor area where the group can participate without blocking walkways.

LET’S PLAY

Here’s how it works.

  1. Partly fill a plastic bottle so it flips reliably.
  2. Use a sturdy clear table or floor area.
  3. Start the timer.
  4. Flip and reset after each attempt.
  5. Count upright landings.

A few ground rules

Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.

Mix it up

First to three successful flips or team total.

Make it a great round

Use plastic only; no glass bottles.

Keep everyone comfortable

Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
