Catapult | Nursing Home Game

In pairs, use the towel as a catapult to throw the ball to two other people, who must also retrieve it with their towel. The ball must not be touched with the hands or any other part of the body. A point is scored each time the ball is caught.

• Use one stick or fry per participant instead of a towel
• Roll the ball on the towel, stick or fry instead of throwing it
• Change the throwing distance

• Allow the use of hands or other body parts to assist the catch
• To increase the level of difficulty, participants can move around when throwing and catching the ball
• This activity can be performed in a standing or sitting position
• Instead of passing the ball to another team, participants throw the ball at a target on the floor or wall
