Throwing Games

 


Kids love to throw - whether it be a ball, a stick, crumpled up paper, or a Frisbee - and throwing games are good fun, good exercise, and excellent for developing all sorts of sporting skills. We have gathered together a collection of throwing games to inspire you, both for indoors and outdoors.

This game couldn't be simpler - but it is a great way to use last year's cards and kids (and adults) enjoy it. A good boredom buster for long winter afternoons!
