1. Pick a challenge card and look at the shape on it.
2. Each player takes their own colour of balls.
3. Bounce a ball so it lands inside the board.
4. Keep going until the balls settle in the right positions for the shape.
5. The first to complete the shape correctly wins the round.

• Aiming accuracy, which improves visibly over a few rounds
• Concentration, since a rushed throw usually misses
• Taking a retry as part of the game rather than a setback
• Hand-eye coordination at speed

• Count how many throws each shape takes, then try to beat your own count
• Play best of five rather than a single round
• Let a younger player stand closer to even the game up
