What you need

• Empty plastic bottles
• 7 pairs of socks

Activity 1 - Angry birds

• Place your bottles on a bench or wall to create angry bird targets
• If working in pairs, each player are to take turns, for a total of 4 throws 
• Every time a bottle is knocked down, they score one point and the bottle is to be placed back up
• Once ab ottle is struck, that player can't hit it again during the same turn
• Who can scored the most points?

Progression:

Activity 2 - Protect the birds

• One player is to stand between the thrower and the targets as the defender
• The thrower has 4 attempts to try and knock down as many bottles as possible
• Once a bottle has been knocked down, it stays down
• After 4 attempts, swap roles

Progression:

• Move further away
• Move the bottles further away fro meach other

Activity 3 - Protect the nest

• Use socks to mark a playing square
• Place the bottles on the floor inside the square
• The defender must stay inside the square and protect the nest
• The attacker must stay outside the square and their aim is to roll/throw their socks to knock down the bottles
• Play for two minutes, every bottle down = 1 point to the attacker
• Bottles must stay down when knocked down

Progression:

• Adapt the size of the playing area
• Adapt the size of the targets
• Adjust the time limit
