Masking tape
Bat stickers
3-4 Unbreakable shallow bowls
Set upDecorate the bowls with bat stickers.Mark a tossing line on the floor using masking tape. Arrange the containers on a desk in a random fashion rather than in a line. How to playGive the first player six pennies and have them stand behind the tossing line. They try to toss the coins, one at a time, so that they land in the bowl without falling out.If a coin stays in the bowl it is worth two points. If the coin goes into the bowl and pops out landing on the table, give the player one point. Winning the gameWinner is the person who has the most points after one round.VariationsTo keep pennies from flying all over the room, hang a sheet behind the table and place a rug or blanket under the table. These materials will absorb the wayward pennies so they aren't rolling all over the room.Quarters can be used instead of pennies if the penny seems to be too small for the childrens' hands.
