Instructions
Form five small paper balls out of colorful scrap paper. Try using magazine advertisements, cardstock left over from craft projects or tissue, crepe or wrapping paper. Roll the balls on a flat surface beneath the palm of your hand to smooth the edges and condense them to about half the size of ping-pong balls.
Trim construction paper or cardstock into 2-inch strips. Use several different colors so you can assign each one a point value.
Bring the ends of each strip in to form a circle and tape or glue the ends to secure the shape. Create one "cup" that's about 5-inches across, 4 additional circles that are about 4-inches across, another four that are about 3-inches across and four more circles that are only slightly larger than the balls you've created. Use a different color of cardstock for each size.
Arrange the targets in a "plus" sign formation on a table or the floor with the largest in the center and the others radiating out from the center. Assign point values to each target. Design a more deluxe game board by affixing the targets to a piece of poster board with tape and leaning it against the wall at a slight angle.
Launch the paper balls either with a paper clip or with a plastic spoon. Adjust your distance from the target to change the difficulty of the game. After each player shoots the five balls, calculate the scores to determine the winner.
