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