How to Play: Sticky Note Wall Bop
1) Attach 26 sticky notes to the back of a door and write a different letter on each one (in random order).
2) Make a “start” line a few feet away from the door (more if you have older kids), and stand behind it with a soft ball, bean bag, stuffed animal or pair of rolled up socks.
3) Now throw the object to try and hit the “A” or the “T”.
4) Players with more advanced aim and spelling skills can try and hit all the letters in specific words (to make it even tougher, if you miss one of the letters, have them start all over again!). Alternatively, write different point values on each sticky and give your child 10 throws.
5) For each target you hit, mark down the number of points.
6) At the end of the round, tally up to crown a winner (or if playing solo, have them try and beat their previous score).
For all ages.
