Throwing into the bag

Throwing into the bag

Practise throwing with the right amount of force

  • 3-10 years
  • Group size: 1+
  • Duration: 20 min
  • Alternative physical activities
  • Mountains, forests and fields
  • Gym / Sports hall
  • Indoor
  • Open space
  • Bean bags
  • Pine cones

Hang a bag from a tree and draw a line a short distance away.

  • Adjust the height and distance to suit the group of children.
  • Make sure the opening of the bag is quite large, so that it isn’t too difficult to hit.

The aim is to hit the bag with the ball or whatever you’re throwing. You can also draw several lines, for example so that throwing from the furthest distance is worth 10 points, whilst standing right at the front is worth 1 point. Agree on how many throws each participant gets before you swap.
