How to play: Draw a 5- to 6- foot square on the ground. Place the block in the very center of the square. Players take turns attempting to knock the block out of the square by throwing a 15-inch stick at it.
The rules: If a player knocks the block out of the square, he or she gets three attempts to knock the block like a golf ball an agreed-upon distance (20 to 100 feet).
How to win: If a player succeeds hitting the block the agreed-upon distance, that player wins the game. If he or she does not succeed, the block goes back into the square and play continues.

John Hutton said...Hi Sally:
I love this post (and ParentDish in general) - a refreshing, unplugged activity great for kids, and an alternative to the rampant, screen-based stuff.
I am an independent children's bookseller (blue manatee, Cincinnati), pediatrician, and the founder of a new website bluemanateeboxes.com, a "retro-lutionary" new gift-giving concept for babies and young kids. At its essence, it is a greener, more developmentally-appropriate mode for this age range, promoting shared reading, creative play, and family bonding via hand-picked books and one of the most robust toys/learning tools yet devised: cardboard boxes. Each is hand-packed with attention to the receiving child, and everything - from the books, to the packaging, to the box itself - is intended to be used. I believe this concept is resonant with your post, this site, and its mission, and could spur useful dialogue about gift giving and play for this age, what is of value (i.e. the gift or the opportunity to spend time together), and the impact and usefulness (is there any under 3?) of technology.
blue manatee boxes™ have been endorsed by Montessori and medical experts, and other notable advocates for kids, including Last Child in the Woods author and natural play advocate Richard Louv.
We are in the midst of a painstaking get-the-word-out effort, and hope to earn your attention and support, and would love to add parentdish.com to our links page, as well. We invite you to browse www.bluemanateeboxes.com and are happy to send images if this helps. We'd love to hear your feedback, and again, applaud you for your work and ideas.
Cheers,
Dr. John S. Hutton
