About this deal
In this variation of netball, use a bean bag instead of a ball. Throw the bean bag to each other (or to your own team members if there are a few players) and score by throwing the bean bag into the hoop.
The children sit in a circle and the ‘hot potato’ is passed from child to child but must not be held onto for too long or it will burn hands. The aim is not to drop the potato. Set up a simple endurance challenge by giving tasks to carry out with the bean bags. Once a task is completed, the next task must be done until the set is complete.The object is to take turns to lay down a bean bag on a square and try to make a row of three. The first person to make a row of three vertically, horizontally or diagonally is the winner. 11. Volleyball Toss
