Air Golf

Before the courses get going for the season, kids can hone their skill with an after-school game that’s easy to set up and fun to play.

What You Need

Six or seven clothes hangers

1 ball or flying disc per player

Colored tape

Jingle bells

String

Instructions

1. Setup: Shape the wire hangers into circular targets as shown. To make the targets easier to see, wrap the wire with crepe paper or colored tape. Suspend a jingle bell from a string in the center. Hang the targets in trees or from play structures, spaced so that players can go from one to the next as they would on a golf course.

2. Players take turns throwing their ball or disk through the open space in the hanger. Scoring is similar to golf: Players get a point for each throw that doesn’t make it through the hanger, and the lowest score wins. But, hit the bell in the center of the hanger, and you get to subtract a point.
