Physical: accuracy in throwing, under-hand toss, over-hand toss, upper limb coordination, hand-eye coordination

Cognitive: selective attention, visual processing

Social: turn taking

2 or more

• buckets
• medium-sized ball

1. children start at a distance from the first bucket and try to throw the ball into the bucket
2. if completed, they continue onto the next bucket

Change the environment: decrease the distance between child and bucket to decrease physical demand

Change the equipment:

• use a bean bag instead of a ball to decrease physical demand
• use a bigger bucket to decrease physical demand

Change the environment: increase the distance between child and bucket to increase physical demand

Change the equipment: increase the number of buckets to increase physical and cognitive demand

• the child can accurately under-hand toss the ball into a bucket placed 2m away, 2 out of 3 times
• I can toss a ball into the bucket
