Sockball Target Ladder

Description

Get ready for aiming games with three rolled socks and a laundry basket. Pick a distance where both people can score, then move the target.

What to prep

  • Three rolled pairs of socks
  • Laundry basket
  • Clear floor
Cost: FreeBest time: Anytime

Play guide

  1. 1Put a laundry basket on the floor and make three soft sock balls. Choose a nearby throwing line where landing one is realistic.
  2. 2Take six gentle underarm throws as one team, alternating throws and counting total basket hits together.
  3. 3Move the line a little closer or farther and try six more team throws. Compare the team totals rather than parent versus child.

Success signals

Parent and child adjust distance and aim while working toward one shared target total.

If it's tricky

Throwing is uncomfortable: roll the socks towards the basket laid on its side.
