Get set up
Gather the required materials: Rolled socks and a basket or target. Set them out before explaining the first round.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.

- Place a basket several feet away and mark a throw line.
- Start the timer.
- Players toss one sock ball at a time.
- Count successful baskets or points by distance.
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 multiple targets, team relay or increasing distances.
Make it a great round
Use only soft items and keep the throwing lane clear.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
