The aim of this game is to throw the beanbag into the hoop that is labelled with the same number as on the dice when rolled.
LEARNING INTENTIONS
The benefits of the game are to refine motor co-ordination so that directional intention (throwing the bean bag to a specific target) is achieved, refining the skill of throwing underarm, matching dice numbers, counting, having to follow more than one instruction.
Planning
Avoid having lots of children waiting to have a go - maybe three at the most - and adapt the game as required to suit the developmental skills and abilities of the children playing.
Resources
Up to six hoops, at least six coloured beanbags in a box, chalk, large foam dice.
