Get set up
Gather the required materials: Crumpled scrap paper and boxes or targets. Set them out before explaining the first round.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Crumple scrap paper into soft balls.
- Arrange boxes or targets with point values.
- Mark a throw line.
- Give each player several throws.
- Count points and reuse the paper for another round.
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 teams, a moving target held safely at waist level, or distance rounds.
Make it a great round
Keep throws away from faces and fragile decorations.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
