Games for Kids
Here are a few simple games you can play with friends and family.
Steps
Pass the disc back and forth. For each successful catch, both players take one step back. Take one step for missed catches.
Sticks
Insert two sticks of similar size into the ground approximately 20 paces apart. Each player stands behind one of the sticks. Take it in turns throw the disc at the stick.
-
5 points are awarded for each direct hit
-
1 points is scored for catches made from a missed throw - these must be behind the stick
Players must not put any part of their body in front of the stick to defend it.
Into Space
Players pass the disc to each other, but instead of throwing the disc directly to the player, passes are made into space so that the receiver must move their feet to make a catch. This simple passy game can involves running, and if you're playing on the beach, some diving too!
Speed Catch
Complete as many passes as you can within a time limit. Use a stopwatch to time you, for 2 or 3 minutes and see how many catches you can make as a team. You get 2 points for 2 handed catches and 3 points for 1 handed catches. You get 5 bonus points for no drops!
If you get into the zone, have a go at some catches behind the back and under the legs - you get 5 points for these!
Old Skool Disc Golf
Best played in the park, where there are plenty of possible targets in the landscape. Each player needs 1 disc. The aim is to hit a target in as few shots as possible by taking each throw from where it comes to rest. Targets can be trees, lamposts, bins or you can use sticks in the ground. Just be careful and make sure you don't damage anything or hit any people! If you're serious, why not make up a course and use a scorecard... another way is to make it up as you go along... - Some people prefer to use portable disc golf targets.
