PURPOSE
The object is to be the first player to toss each of the 5 beanbags
into each of the 5 buckets.
HOW IT WORKS
Students compete head-to-head with the player on the opposite side.
On the start signal, begin by tossing 1 of the beanbags into 1 of the buckets. If
students miss, they retrieve the beanbag and try again.
Students cannot interfere with opponent’s toss.

buckets further or closer to the
thrower

ball

Add more beanbags to each marker e.g 2-3 beanbags have to land in the bucket before moving on to the next one
