- Draw a straight line on the floor.
- Place the empty bottles/plastic cups 3 metres away from the line and arrange them.

- Stand on the line you drew and hold the soft ball/paper ball/tennis ball in your hand.
- Roll down the ball OR aim at the bottles/cups without rolling the ball to try to kick off the maximum bottles/cups.
- Each person playing the game is allowed to roll/throw the ball 3 consecutive times to score the maximum points.
• Scoring
• 1st roll/throw – 3 points per number of bottles/cups kicked off (e.g., if you kick off 2 bottles you score 2 x 3 = 6 pts)
• 2nd roll/throw – 2 points per number of bottles/cups kicked off.
• 3rd roll/throw – 1 point per number of bottles kicked off. - Enter the score for each roll/throw in the score sheet on the next page.
- Re-arrange the empty bottles/cups in the same way before the next person starts the game.
Note:- To make the game challenging, increase the distance between the line drawn on the floor and bottles/cups.
