BADMINTON BALL
What you need:
Badminton racquet and birdie
Small trash can or large bowl
How to play
Set up the trash can (removing any trash!) so that it is at a challenging height and distance from you. The goal is to get the birdie in the basket as many times as possible. You can also challenge a friend to see who can get it in the basket in the fewest tries! Change the height and distance the better you get at it.
BOCCE BALL
What you need:
1 small ball (superball size works well)
2 larger balls for each player
How to play
Each player will need to make their ball noticeably different from the others (using different types of balls, different colors or writing your names on the balls would help). Decide on someone to throw the superball out in front of you. Each player in turn tosses one ball at the superball. Whoever throws his/her ball closest to the superball wins the round. This game is usually played in a grassy field, but you can also play indoors in a parent-approved area. |

FIELD DAY
What you need:
Measuring tape
Softball or baseball
Frisbee
Stopwatch or watch with seconds hand
How to play
Set up your own track meet. You can have a discus throwing contest with a Frisbee or shotput with a softball or baseball. Find an open area to do the long jump and set up start and end points for sprints. Use the measuring tape to see how far you can throw and jump! Time your sprints (or long distance runs) and challenge yourself or friends to beat your time.
