Top Games: Reaction: Stop Disc Cones from Falling down a Post

Challenge 1: Stop Disc Cones from Falling down a Post

1. Put one disc cone upside down through a pole and hold it at the top of the poles.
2. One child each stands on the opposite side of these poles, ready with their arms behind their backs.
3. The coach randomly drops the disc cones at different intervals and children try to catch them before they drop on the floor.

Tips

1. You can use ropes and attach them somewhere above your head to try the same challenge if you don’t have posts available.
2. Make sure that the posts are solid or watch out for posts tipping over when kids try to grab them.
3. The longer the posts, the better; the more time you can give your students to catch the disc cones.
4. Keep kids waiting for a little while before you drop the disc cones which adds to the excitement and is great to improve focus.

Goals

Main focus: Reaction
In addition: Orientation is needed to accurately track the disc cone

Progressions

1. The lower you let the disc cones fall from, the more you increase the challenge.
