Welcome to the first of our Primary School Monthly Dodgeball Challenges. For October 2020 the challenge is ‘Target Throw’ and is for children in Key Stage 2 in England & Wales, P4-6 in Scotland and Primary 4-7 in Northern Ireland. We will be releasing a different challenge each month with variations in age group and skill.

Here’s how to play:

Objective
From a distance of 6m each player must throw one dodgeball at a time in order to try and hit as many targets as they can within 30 seconds. Each player gets 1 throw with their ball.

Equipment Required
5 children, 5 tall cones, 5 dodgeballs, floor marking tape or floor markers

Set Up
– Place the 5 tall cones approximately 2ft apart along a bench.
– Place floor marking tape or floor markers 6m away from the bench. This is where the players will be throwing from.
– Give 1 ball to each of the 5 players behind the marking tape or marker ready to use.
– Set your timer for 30 seconds.
– Make sure someone is ready to record your effort.
– Go!

The ‘score’ column shows the number of cones knocked over.

Prize
