Cheap Shots: Plastic Gallon Jugs
|
Does
your family consume a lot of milk (or other drinks that come in plastic
gallon jugs)? Ours does! Most of the jugs get
recycled. Some get used for carrying water to the garden or
keeping water in the car. One fun thing to do with them is to
carefully, with a craft blade, cut away a section from the side and
bottom of the jug on the handle side, forming a large scoop. Make
several of these, buy a package of plastic "whiffle" balls or nerf
balls, and you can play "scoop ball." The ball(s) must be tossed
and caught in the scoop. It is played like monkey in the
middle. If you have several people, put some on each side and
some in the middle. The side teams try to throw the ball over the
heads of the people in the middle. The people in the middle try
to catch the ball. If some one in the middle successfully catches
the ball before it touches the ground, the one who tossed the ball goes
to the middle and the one who caught it gets to go take his
place. When we have a lot of people playing we usemore than one
ball at a time. We keep playing till everyone is tired or it is time to
come in.
