"That is a cool little game! We played it at my daughter's 6th Birthday Party and it is excellent for encouraging team play. You have 1 big inflatable die with numbers on it and another with actions. We separated the kids into 2 teams and gave them each a die to throw. Then the first in the line of each team had to compete against each other. It was fun to watch them try out new actions like leapfrogging, where they each took one of their own team members to complete with against the other team. They had a ball racing while being wheelbarrows - it is a very good all round game."     Viv Grimston

"simple fun for childrens parties "    Peter Hunt

"A very silly game but everyone has a laugh. Leapfrog, wheelbarrow, roll your way round the course."   Jean Phillipe

It's April, and the weather has just turned cooler. Nevertheless we still had a 7th Year Old Birthday Party to prepare for. 8 seven/eight year olds with endless energy, even after a day at school - what do you do with them?

Well, we took them to the beach to play games for just over an hour. We had fun, the kids had fun, and secretly I am hoping they are still talking about it.

First game off the rank was Frisbee Tally Hoop Target Toss Game - a very long product name for a Frisbee game - but in short a lot of fun.

We decided to play the game with each child taking it in turns to throw the Frisbee into the net - which is harder than you think. We had them standing 7 feet from the net and tossing the Frisbee toward the net. If they got it in they then took a step back and tossed again. If they got it in they took another step back and tossed the Frisbee in....etc etc. When they missed the net it was then the next child's turn. The resulting winner is the child the furthest away from the net.

All the kids were clamboring to have more and more turns, so Frisbee Tally Hoop Target Toss was a great hit.

You could  turn this game into a great team game. You could do it with 1 hoop, but the result would be better with 2 hoops a fair distance away from each other. Split the group in 2 and have one group heading one way toward one goal and the other group heading the other way toward the other goal. It is a great team game because it requires passing the Frisbee, aiming, getting goals and celebrating with each other.
