Kick It Through the Wicket
save
Kids can practice their soccer skills with this supersize version of croquet.
What you'll need
- Pliers
- 9 wire clothes hangers
- Colored tape
- Scissors
- Card stock
- Marker
- 1 playground or soccer ball per player
How to play
Setting up: Use pliers to untwist the hangers, then bend each into a square wicket big enough for the balls to fit through. Cover the wire with colored tape. Cut circles from card stock, use a marker to number them 1 through 9, then tape them to the wickets. Set up the wickets in the formation of your choice, spacing them at least 6 feet apart.
Playing the game: Each player gets 1 kick per turn, trying to send his ball through the wickets in order. When he gets it through a wicket or if he hits another ball, he gets a bonus kick. The first player to get his ball through all 9 wickets wins.
