View as

A beanbag that stays where it lands and a ball that rolls away invite children to practise different skills. This range includes numbered beanbags, soft inflatable balls, textured balls and large balls for group activities. Choose equipment around the movement you want children to explore and the space available.

Throwing, catching and target games

Start with an underarm beanbag toss into a hoop or marked area. Children can step closer or further away between turns and notice how the distance changes the throw. For partner work, try rolling a ball along the floor first. A receiving partner can practise tracking its movement and stopping it before you introduce a gentle toss.

Adding counting and cooperative play

With numbered beanbags, call out a number for a child to find, or lay several out with a gap and ask which number is missing. For a group ball activity, invite children to stand in a circle and roll the ball to someone by name. Compare the diameter of each ball with your available playing space, especially when considering the giant wave and floating balls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which equipment works well for a target game?

A beanbag is a practical starting point because it tends to stay near its landing spot. Lay a hoop on the floor or mark a target, then adjust the throwing distance to suit the group.

How can numbered beanbags support maths activities?

Ask children to put beanbags in sequence, collect a called number or find the missing number in a short row. Check the listing to see whether the set covers 1–10 or 1–20.

How can I introduce partner ball games?

Start with two children rolling a ball to each other along the floor. Once they can send and stop it comfortably, vary the distance or introduce a gentle underarm toss.

What should I compare when selecting a ball?

Check diameter, texture, inflation requirements and intended use on the product listing. A large ball for group play needs different space and handling from a small ball for partner activities.
