Product Information

The first thing a child learns in ball handling is the overhand throw. Most children can perform an overhand throw easily. However, accuracy counts when playing most games. Use a target on a wall or the ground to increase accurate throws. Follow these eight steps, beginning slowly and increasing the pace, when teaching how to throw overhand: For younger kids, garden games can be the perfect opportunity for some role play fun. Cook up a storm with an outdoor play kitchen, or potter around the garden with wheelbarrow sets and role play lawnmowers. A toy watering can will water the flowers just as well as a real one, so why not encourage your kids to get involved as you garden? It’s the perfect chance to teach them all about the nature around them. This basic version of dodgeball can be played by young children who are just learning to throw. Make sure you use a soft foam ball and instruct the children to only aim at the legs. You can play this game with just two players or many children. Have a player(s) stand in front of a wall or fence. The thrower attempts to hit the legs of the standing player(s). The standing player(s) dodge the ball and win a point if they are successful. If they manage to catch the thrown ball, they win two points. A player who is hit is out. In a large group, when only one player is left, they are declared the winner. If you have two players, they change places when there is a successful hit. You can also play for points with the first player winning 15 points declared the winner. Monster Ball

Multibuys

A classic spin on traditional catch that works best with three people or more. One designated thrower stands an agreed-upon distance away from the rest of the players, all of whom are catchers. The thrower tosses the ball high in the air and shouts out a number between 25 and 500. Whoever catches the ball without dropping it gets the amount of points; if they drop it, they lose that amount of points. The game lasts until someone achieves 500 or more points. (Kids having trouble catching those high tosses? This is h ow to teach a kid to field a fly ball, in six steps) 2. Five Dollars It is important for a child to learn how to throw so that they can play sports if they wish. Additionally, many school and playground activities involve throwing and catching a ball. Similar toe “Clap and Catch,” the goal of this game is to bounce the ball to the other player. There are three ways to play: The games in this section will increase throwing proficiency while providing fun. Animal Sounds Throw and Catch Players of this game that works well for kids over six begin by standing in a circle. Use a ball the size of a basketball. The goal is to throw the ball across the circle, surprising someone so that they do not catch the ball. If a player manages to catch the ball, the players on either side of the catcher raise the arm nearest the player. They hold this position until the ball is thrown to someone else. If a player misses a ball, they are out of the game. Additionally, if a player with their hand held in the air drops their hand before the ball is thrown, they are out. The last five players remaining in the circle are the winners.

Set up several stations for the kids to practice throwing. Choose age-appropriate challenges and base the number of the stations on how many players you have. We suggest the following, but you can add more if you wish. This game, as the name implies, requires the players to bounce the ball to each other with a single bounce. Make sure they stand the right distance apart from each other for success. Add a target on the ground if you wish.If your players need to have the velocity of the ball slower, have them do underhand throws. As they increase in confidence, they can try overhand throws. Spud There’s a huge range of flying discs, boomerangs and throwing toys with a twist that can bring all new fun to games of catch – like the epic NERF Howler. You can even practise your serve with Swingball or tennis sets! Here’s how it plays out: The person whose number is called must try to catch or retrieve the ball; all other players must run away. Once the designated player retrieves the ball, they shout “Spud!” When this happens, the other players must freeze. The player who has the ball may take four steps, yelling “S!” “P!” “U! “D!” as they do so. They must then try to hit another player by throwing or rolling the ball. Frozen players aren’t allowed to move their feet, but can catch the ball or wiggle their hips/bend to avoid a toss. If the thrower successfully hits or a player targeted tries to catch but misses, they receive a letter (S, P, U, and then D); if the ball is caught, the thrower receives a letter. The player who receives a letter is the next thrower and the game repeats. Once someone spells out SPUD, they are out of the game; the last player remaining wins. 6. Hoop Throw Begin this team game for a large group by dividing in two teams of equal size. This game is played best in a gym or other large area with a hard floor. Give each team a basket or box of balls of different weights and sizes. Between the two teams, set a very large ball. The goal of the game is to force the large ball to the other team’s side by throwing smaller balls at it. A player may not touch the monster ball. If the ball goes out of bounds on the other team’s side of the court, the team doing so wins a point. You can set a time for play and the team with the most points at the end of the set time wins. You can also set a point goal to reach. Throwing Station Challenge
