 Sponge Bulls-Eye

Instructions

For a 1v1 game set up four or five cones inside an area. You can adjust the size of the game to suit. Players take turns to throw a wet sponge at the targets. They remove any cones they knock over from the area before the next player takes their turn. The winner is the player with the most cones at the end of the game.

Variation of this game: instead of using cones as the target, you can hang/draw targets on a wall representing different points, each player will take turns at throwing a wet sponge at the the targets. The wet spots on the wall will help show how many points that player got. The player with the most amount of points wins.

Progressions

  • Play individually against another player. Each player has three throws to knock over as many cones as possible.
  • Play as a team against another team. The first team to hit all the targets is the winner.
  • Players knock the cones over or or hit the targets on the wall in a particular sequence (i.e. red, blue, yellow, green).
  • Players create their own scoring system for the game.
  • Players use blindfolds

 

Modifications

Player start at a different angle to the targets. use a smaller sponge. raise the cones off the floor

Special Needs Modifications
