Basically......we took some painter's tape and made a triangle. Then we made boxes within the triangle.....inside of those boxes we wrote numbers...or whatever else we wanted.
We set up the tee and then hit the ball........where it lands nobody knows. Well, technically we did know..... I just felt like that little phrase went with the theme of the game. Anyhow.....the goal was to get your ball to land on a high number. Truth be told......all the balls bounced off the basement wall, few landed in a box. Believe it or not, nobody cared. It didn't stop anyone from playing.
It was a simple game, but brought us lots of fun......I played....they played....and they played some more. That is homemade game success in my book. Mission accomplished.

I have all these ingredients! I'll save it for a rainy day and set it up in the garage.
I love it!! Those are the things that they will remember the most when they are older.
You are such a fun mom! And that last picture is funny!
What a creative idea! I love it.
Blessings,

Survivor is one of my favorites. Way to get the bodies moving and having fun at the same time! I can see why you like the last picture.
What a GREAT idea.
You are so blessed to have that awesome indoor space to play like that.
I'm tucking this idea away, by the way!!
What a fun idea. I should try that in my garage and see what happens.
Wow, I just realized all I missed while I was gone.. :(
I just love when something (usually a gam) brings the whole family together and all of us actually have fun :) My girls would love that game too, may borrw the idea ;)
The boys will have to get that game set back up again the next time we come over. My kids would love playing that with them!
seriously, you are THE most fun, interactive Mom I know!! Those boys are soo blessed to have you (and you them, of course)
We have a carport now so, even if it's raining, we can get outside for a bit...this is a great game to try recreate, for sure!!
Well, we don't own a tee ;) so we'd have to modify even more...I used to love 4 square, remember that game?!
Talk about a CREATIVE family! Looks like fun...I know my boys would love it!
Oh, I saw that episode! {{Heck, I see EVERY episode! Love that show!)
Way to go for being so creative, Boys!!!

Our family is totally addicted to Survivor - it is the only show we watch every week. The kids all hurry to do homework, eat and get bathed so we can sit down and watch. It's actually a great tool to open a lot of discussions about why people act the way they do and how we as Christians should behave. Plus its not full of sex and violence like most other shows that we have quit watching!!
But, we have never tried redoing a game at home, what a fantastic idea. Glad you had fun!
