3. DO IT // ACTIVITIES
FAMILY CHALLENGE - Waste Paper Basket CAT
This week’s family challenge is a spin on the game “HORSE” (but we’ll be playing to spell the word “CAT!”) Normally, you’d play with a basketball and basketball hoop, but today all you’ll need is a trashcan and one wadded up piece of paper per person (this will be your ball!)
Here’s the rules: To begin the game, pick a player to go first. That player gets to do anything they want before shooting. If they want to spin around 5 times and then hop up and down before shooting, they can do it. They make the rules! If they hit their shot, the other players have to do the exact same thing. But if they miss, the next player gets to make up their own wacky shot for the others to try. Any player that can’t make the first person’s shot gets the letter C. Everyone keeps playing the game and making up crazy shots until someone misses enough times to spell out the word CAT. The player who does not spell CAT is the winner!
Keep track of who wins and give the winner 5 POINTS on your challenge card for this week!
ACTIVITY 2 - Caretakers Activity
