  • 2 tables

  • 2 sets of tin cans
    Cans may be bought or made. If creating the game yourselves use suitable cans and ensure they are securely and safely sealed.

  • Bean bags

  • Masking tape to mark the floor

How to play:

Have two tables, one for each team up front, each table nominally next to their respective teams. Set up a set of cans in a pyramid on each table. Put a strip of masking tape (or some other marker) on the floor to show the throwing position. Distance from cans will be age dependent. Put 3 bean bags on the floor in front of each of the two throwing positions. Bean bags may be put on a tray or in bowl. Choose 2 children from each team to play. Kids each have 2 bean bags and take turns to throw. Winning team is the one with the most cans down.
