Prepare 5 targets. Round one: Take one (1) shot at each target from at least ten (10) feet away. Round two: Increase the distance away from your target and take a second shot towards each one. Check the ranges to see your accuracy percentage. Submit your best percentage of targets hit.
Stickball Games
Stick Ball Games (Hockey, Lacrosse, Broomball, Baseball, etc.) Many popular modern-day sports descend from and resemble games played by various Indigenous communities throughout Turtle Island. Rules for these games were decided on the day prior and brought together many communities. Generally, there was no out-of-bounds, and the ball could not be touched by hand. Our ancestors would maintain their well-being by honouring creation and their gifts through this good medicine, playing from sun-up until sun-down utilizing the natural life that surrounded them such as rocks, trees, and animals.

Double Ball
100 points
After creating your own doubleball, find a stick or branch that feels comfortable to hold and shoot your double ball with. Some sticks have a slight hook at the end that you may like better for releasing a shot. Shoot the double ball from shoulder height, parallel with the ground and ending your throw facing your stick end towards your target. Single point for hitting your target, double points for wrapping it around your target. Start standing 3-5 feet away. Inrease your distance and try to do three points in a row!
Materials Needed:
Tube Sock
Three elastics
Two soft bouncy balls
A stick/branch, an upright post (for example: an open based tree, basement pole, etc.)
