Throwing & Catching Games

Throwing and catching – fun for all ages

Who’ll catch the ball? Who scores the most points in target throwing? And which team manages the most rallies back and forth? Throwing and catching games come in many variations with all kinds of rules. They all have one thing in common: they’re great fun for young and old while training key skills such as hand-eye coordination, reaction speed and concentration. Perfect for kids who are still learning to throw and catch are ball-catching games with hook-and-loop catching paddles – the ball simply sticks to the paddle when caught. Want to practise throwing, catching and mental arithmetic at the same time? Try the catch ball, a throwing toy printed with numbers that players add or subtract during the game.

Target throwing games to boost focus

Throwing games that involve scoring points by hitting a target are excellent for improving concentration. The target can be, for example, a throwing mat, a numbered disc – or wooden pegs as in the classic ring toss. A particularly clever variation is ladder golf: players try to throw two golf balls connected by a cord so that they wrap around the highest possible rung of a ladder.
