Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of NokDown Target Range. This guide is designed to help you and your students get the most benefits from your NokDown Target Range.

Activities

Basic Throwing Practice
Students line up with fleece balls, whiffleballs or beanbags and throw at the targets (up to 6 or 8 at a time). When all targets are knocked over, they are reset and ready to go again.

Wheel Of Fortune (for spelling)
A word is written on the target, one letter per target. The targets are turned up with the letters now hidden. Students take turns throwing. When a target is hit, students have one letter to work with, for guessing the word. All students in line may guess at any time. As more targets are knocked over, more letters appear. Whoever guesses the word first gets to set up the next word, or you can pick another student to set up the next word.

Math Facts
Set up the targets with math problems and put the answer on the other side. Another option is to set up equations running sideways with the answer on the far right. If players knock the answer target over first, they have to guess the missing numbers to solve the problem.

History Facts
Set up the targets with historical events on one side and the matching dates on the other. Another option is to set targets up with events on one side and the people involved on the other.

Fitness Station
Write up exercises on one side and the number of repetitions to complete on the other side. When a target is hit, the exercise written must be done.

Game Facts/Rules/Dimensions
Teach rules, facts or game dimensions using simple questions on one side and answers on the back.
