Throw a beanbag into a basket, from further away each time you get it in.
Target toss
How to do it
- Aim at the middle, not the edge.
- Same throw every time: your arm learns it.
- Step back one step each time it goes in.
- A beanbag or a rolled sock, A bucket or a laundry basket
- A room you can take three steps across.
Watch out for this
Make it fit you
The right version is the hardest one you can still do properly. That is not a kindness, it is how this works.
Easier
- Stand two steps from the basket, and use a bigger basket.
Harder
- Throw with your other hand, or over your shoulder.
Sitting down? Throw from a chair: the aim is exactly the same.
