Discus Throw


Materials

  • String or tape
  • Paper plates

Directions

  1. Mark a square at one end of a room with string or tape.
  2. Have your child stand back several feet and try to throw paper plates into the square.
  3. A child playing alone can see how many plates land in the square in a designated time.
  4. Two or more children can take turns throwing plates to see who has more successful throws.
  5. You may want to color-code each child's plates or label them with the child's name.
