Birdie Stack
You will need: Badminton birdies, about four or five per pair.
How to play: Stand about 2m apart from a partner. One partner starts with a badminton birdie, feathers facing upwards. The second partner throws their birdies up in the air one at a time, hoping to land one directly into their partner’s birdie. Once you get one, the game continues with more difficulty, as the goal is to stack as many birdies as you can!
Modifications:
- For an extra challenge have kids stand further apart
- To work on right-left symmetry, have kids use their opposite hand to throw and catch
