| Name of the Game | |
| Basket Golf | |
| Objective – What is the Purpose | Goal of the Game | |
| Objective is to get the most points with your 10 balls within the 30 second time limit. | |
| Description – Describe Your Game and What it Should Look Like | |
| This game should be played with at least a minimum of 3 buckets to a maximum of about twelve buckets. Place the buckets at least six feet or more in front of you on the floor or on a raised surface and at least a foot or more apart in a horizontal or vertical manner. The buckets can be colour coded or they can be identified with numbers.The 1st bucket(s) should be 5 points, the second should be 10 points, and the third bucket(s) should be 15 points and so on. For each additional bucket(s) you can increase the point by 5 points. The buckets can be the same size or different sizes, it depends on the player and how challenging you want the game to be.
This game can be played by anyone of any age but in order to help younger children between the ages of 3-8, with their coordination, you may want to use larger buckets and put them in closer proximity to the children. In order to increase the complexity of the game you can add buckets of the same size or different sizes and lay them out randomly or in multiple rows. For example, you can have four small buckets at five points, four medium buckets at ten points and four large buckets at 15 points. You can set the buckets out randomly amongst each other or you can set each size of bucket in a horizontal or vertical row. You can use soft balls, bean bags, foam balls, kids toy balls, or crumpled paper. If players do not have balls or buckets to play the game, the game can me modified by using plastic cups and crumpled paper instead of buckets and balls |

| Rules of the Game – Describe the Rules
Any number of people can play this game This game can be played with each player participating one at a time or by having two or more players participate at the same time. If a player gets a point after the time limit it will not count During the time of covid remember to adhere to the 6 feet distancing rule For teens and adults playing the game remember to try and remain at least 6 feet away from the closest bucket Each person should have 10 balls and a 30 second time limit (the number of balls can be changed) |

| Strategies | Tactics | Progressions – Can it Evolve |
| A strategy is to try and perfect your aim, you don’t want to throw the ball too far, or too close. You want the aim to be just right so it gets into the bucket.
You can throw your first one, and based on how far it goes, use that to measure how hard or soft your next ones will be. |
To develop your eye hand coordination and to challenge yourself, you can try standing farther away from the buckets.
If a player(s) does not have the required items they can try using something as simple as the pockets of a shoe holder or plastic cups Another idea is to add more buckets so that it challenges you to move and think faster to get more points within the time limit. To increase the level of competition for multiple players, add additional buckets and have everyone play in a circular manner while trying to score the most points within the time limit. |
| Equipment – List What is Needed | Safety Considerations – Safety First |
| 10 balls ( i.e. tennis balls or golf balls), bean bags or styrofoam balls,
3 or more buckets or plastic cups One or more players A marker (to indicate the number of points each bucket is worth) Or colour coded buckets or plastic cups Some method of timing yourself |
Make sure you are socially distancing from the person in front of you.
Wear gloves if you choose to share the balls with each other. Or use/ bring your own balls. Play the game outside or in an area without any breakable items. To reduce safety concerns is to use soft balls,,bean bags or styrofoam balls |
REFLECTION
I think this project went well. The planning and video ended up good. My role in the project was editing the video and helping with the planning part fill out thing. Overall everything went pretty smoothly in my opinion and it was good. Since I had edited a lot of videos before making this one wasn’t that hard and I knew what to do. We made a google docs so we could all edit the document above, so that went well and we got that finished. To improve for next time, we can fix some things from the feedback we got. Like the time limit may be too short to throw all the balls in, or stuff like if it bounces in but then bounces out would it still count. For our game, they also said that they liked that it was simple enough to understand yet challenging enough to be fun. And also that the video was good.
