Get set up

Gather the required materials: Coins, table and marked target zone. 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. Mark one or more scoring zones on the far side of a table.
  2. Give each player equal coins.
  3. Start the timer.
  4. Slide one coin at a time from behind the start line.
  5. Count coins that finish inside scoring zones.

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

Use several point zones or a closest-to-the-edge challenge.

Make it a great round

Keep coins away from young children who may mouth small objects.

Keep everyone comfortable

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