If you have someone to work with take out a ball or beanbag and an empty box. Put the box in a space between you. Try and throw the ball or beanbag into the box.

If you do not have someone to work with you can put the box in front of a wall.

Turn the box onto its side. Can you roll the ball into the box?

Remember to bend down into a lunge position using opposite arm to leg for better control and balance.

GAME ACTIVITY-

Two skittles – one for each person/team, one medium ball. Play a 1v1 throwing game where you try to knock down your opponent’s skittle.
Rules: no contact and no running with the ball.
To be decided by the players: where the skittle should be placed? How to start the game? Three important rules?

If you do not have anyone to work with you can still play this on your own. Give yourself a time limit 60 seconds and see how many times you can know the skittle down. Cn you beat your score?

Find some objects around the house you can use as a target for bowling i.e. skittles, water bottles, toilet rolls, small empty boxes.

Arrange the targets into a triangle. How many can you knock down? How far away can you be?

Put away the equipment.
