Suction Dart Board — Safe Darts for Kids

A dart board with a hook to hang on a wall or door, and darts with rubber suction tips instead of points. They stick where they land and come off without marking anything. The scoring rings work the way a real board does, so the game is the real game.

How you play

1. Hang the board on a wall or door using the hook.
2. Agree a throwing line a few steps back.
3. Throw a dart at the board — the suction tip holds where it lands.
4. Score by the ring it stuck in.
5. Take turns and total the scores at the end of the round.

What it builds

• Aim, adjusted after each throw
• Mental arithmetic, adding scores round by round
• Turn taking and playing to a rule everyone agreed
• Physical play indoors, without anything that can hurt

Three ways to play it

• Move the line further back as the aim improves
• Play to a target score rather than a fixed number of throws
• Let a younger player throw from closer in
