Basketball Bin Shoot Out- Using scrunched up balls of paper, shoot them into the bin. Award points for most shots in 30 seconds, furthest distance thrown, and most stylish shot!

Desktop Bowls – See who can roll a ball closest to the end of the table without it rolling off!

Target Shooting – Find out who has the best aim! Using a novelty gun, darts, or elastic bands, see who can get closest to bullseye.
