Instructions :
Hand a copy of Appendix F and coin to each student and ask them to place their coins in the area of the board marked 'start'. Explain to students that on the count of three they all shove their coins towards a scoring area. If the coin lands in an area with a point value they score those points. If the coin goes beyond the edges of the paper, they receive no points. Play a couple of rounds before totalling each student's scores to find the winner.
For older students the difficulty of the game may be increased by telling students that if, after they have 'shoved' their coin, it touches one of the lines between the points, they also receive zero points.
PERMISSION IS GIVEN TO EDIT AND PRINT THE APPENDICES FOR USE IN THE CLASSROOM
