MATERIALS
- A shallow wide basin or kiddie pool filled with water
- Floating lightweight targets (rubber ducks or ping pong balls work as a substitute)
- Thin paper scoops that tear easily, or soft mesh nets for reusable play
- A small bowl to hold catches
HOW TO PLAY
1
Scatter the floating targets across the water in the basin.
2
Each player is given one scoop and a bowl to hold whatever they catch.
3
Players dip the scoop under a floating target and lift gently, trying not to tear or overload thin paper scoops.
4
Any target successfully lifted into the holding bowl before the scoop fails counts as a catch.
5
Whoever collects the most targets before their scoop gives out, or before time runs out, wins.
