● A pen and some paper
● Three buckets, large bowls,
or washing baskets
● A newspaperTO SET UP...- Write the numbers 1, 2 and 3
on three bits of paper. - Pop the three buckets, bowls
or baskets out and stand the
numbers in front of them.
3. Put out a little pile of six pieces
of newspaper per player.
TO PLAY...- Each player sits by their own pile
of newspaper. Little ones can go as
near to the buckets as they need! - Say, ‘Ready, steady, go!’ Each
player then screws a bit of paper
into a ball and throws it into a
bucket. One ball goes in bucket 1,
two balls go into bucket 2, and
three balls into bucket 3. - The first player to get all six
of their balls correctly into the
buckets wins.
