Shot Put

Materials

  • Tape or string
  • Balloons
  • Ribbon or medal

Directions

  1. Mark two lines several feet apart on the floor with tape or string.
  2. Give each player a balloon.
  3. Have the players take turns standing behind one of the lines and throwing their balloons, one at a time, toward the second line.
  4. Balloons won't travel far, so any player whose balloon crosses or touches the line deserves a ribbon or a medal!
