Bean Bag Golf
Purpose: Teach children to count and add as well as make strategic decisions
Equipment Needed & Organization of Playing Area
 Bean bags (1 per student), Hula hoops, pylons, rope
 Spread hula-hoops around gym and arrange corresponding pylons
Refinements
 Practice and demonstrate the underhand toss, discuss techniques,
overhand vs underhand

NAME OF GAME: UFO’s Landing
Purpose: To develop participants manipulation skills
To develop other fundamental skills that can be transferred to other activities (ie aim and accuaracy)
Equipment Needed & Organization of Playing Area

Equipment
Safety Tips
 Participants must throw their discs underhand and be aware of who is
around them
 Separate games should be set up an ample distance apart so that
participants are not hitting one another with their discs.
 2 pylons
 4 flying discs/ Frisbees

Area of play and set up instructions
 Game can be played in gymnasium or an open field such as a soccer
field
Refinements
 Have participants work on the angle at which they are throwing their
discs. The higher the angle the disc comes in at, the better the chance
of scoring points or getting a ringer (5 points)
 Pylons are place 10-15 feet apart from one another
Modifications
Simplification
 To make the game easier the pylons can be moved closer to one
another
How to Play
 Rules
 Place pylons 10-15 ft apart
 Two teams of two are needed for this game/ divide the class
accordingly
 One team member from each team stands next to one of the pylons
(Like Horseshoes)
 Each pylon with have a team member with 2 flying discs. Team
members take turns throwing the discs and attempt to score points by
having their discs land closest to the landing area (Pylon)
 Scoring is as follows: 1 point for each disc closer to the landing area
than the other team. 3 points for leaning a disc against the landing
site, and 5 points if the disc stays on top of the pylon.
Extension
 To make the game harder have the participants throw their discs with
their opposite hand. This also develops their skills with their non
dominant hand. The participants can also kick the discs as opposed to
throwing them, which makes the game significantly harder.
Inclusion Modification or Strategy
 THE GAME CAN BE MADE INCLUSIVE FOR THE VISUALLY
IMPAIRED BY REPLACING THE PYLONS WITH A SOUND

large class.
Refinements
 Have the participants propel their tennis balls and attempt to knock
more than one waffle ball out of the hoop using angles, force etc.

the winners
Safety Tips
 Separate games must be set up an ample distance from one another.
