Make it easier – bring the target closer to the rolled up tea towel. Pick up any that miss and try again.

Make it harder- move the target further away from the starting line.

Skill Tip: When throwing, if you use your right hand, step forwards onto your left foot. If you use your left hand, step forwards on your right foot. It helps you to balance and become more accurate. 

Challenges:

• Once you get 4/4 with your writing hand, then try with your non-writing hand to throw
• How many can you get in 20 seconds?
• Can you balance one teddy on your head while throwing?
