Phase: Warm Up

Create two lines of spots which run parallel to each other and roughly have a spacing of 6metre apart. In between the spots (the centre - 3metre away from spots) place a hula hoop which has a tall cone in the centre of it which will act as targets. Pair students up for this activity and have them stood along the lines of spots, one behind the other facing the targets in front of them.   
Each pair has a beanbag and will take turns throwing it at the target. If a students throws their bean bag and it lands inside the hoop, 1 point will be awarded. If a student manages to knock the cone over, that team will be awarded 2 points. If the bean bag does not land inside the hula hoop/knock the cone over, no points will be awarded. Once the time is up, see which pair scored the most amoutn of points.

Modifications

Move the cone closer or further back to alter difficulty. Play individually, within the group of 4.
