Paper Darts

2 or more players
Ages: 6 and up
Need pencils and paper

Begin by drawing a large circle on paper. Divide this into 10 areas so it looks like a pie.

Number each square, in order, from 1 to 10. Select a player to keep score.

The first player begins by closing his eyes and covering them with his hand so he can't see.

He takes a pencil and puts it down on the sheet of paper with the circle.

Whichever area his pencil lands on is the number of points he receives.

Then, the scorekeeper draws a pencil line through that number.

No other player can receive points if his pencil touches that number.

Each player then takes a turn.

No points are given if a player touches a crossed off number area or if she misses the circle.

If a player hits the center of the circle, he wins automatically. This is the "bull's eye."

If no bull's eye, the player with the most points after each player has taken a turn is the winner.

Or decide in advance to play a set number of rounds. The child who has the most points at the end of all the rounds is the winner.

You can give each child a different colored pencil to make it easier to see his dot on the paper.

Once the game gets going, it's difficult to see where a child's pencil dot is on the paper.

Using colored pencils makes keeping score a little easier.
