Parachute Darts🎯

My Recording

A calm, focused game great for winding down or building throwing accuracy.

📝 Setup:

• Spread the parachute flat on the ground — this is your giant dartboard.

• Mark a throwing line (“oche”) a few metres back using a mini net, cones, or chalk.

• Use coloured beanbags (ideally matching the colours of the parachute segments). 

🎲 How to Play:

1. Children take turns standing behind the oche.

2. They throw beanbags, aiming to land them on a matching colour on the parachute.
   → Red beanbag = aim for red section, etc.

3. Coach or assistant collects and returns beanbags between rounds.

4. Optional: Score 1 point for a hit, 2 for a perfect match!

🏹 Variations:

• Timed Round: Who can land the most matches in 60 seconds?

• Team Play: Take turns and add up total team scores.

• Colour Call: Coach shouts a colour — child must quickly pick the correct beanbag and throw.

• Target Zones: Mark a bullseye zone in the middle for bonus points 🎯

🪶 Feathers (Younger Children)

• Let them walk up and place beanbags to learn colour matching.

• Throw from closer up.

• Use larger beanbags or soft balls for easier aiming.
