Ready, Aim, Fire

Ready, Aim, Fire

This is a throwing contest and players need a strong arm and an aim that is right on the money. To set the stage, use pieces of string or twine to hang a series of targets from a long tree branch or clothesline. Make your targets in a variety of shapes and sizes using paper plates, aluminum pie pans, Hula Hoops, beach balls, wind chimes, cowbells, spinning targets or anything else you can imagine. Label each target indicating how many points it is worth (anything from 1 to 6, depending on difficulty), then mark off a line ten to fifteen feet away. Each contestant steps up to the line and gets three tennis balls... and three chances to try his or her luck on any of the targets. If you are doing a theme party, make your targets to match.
