High School PE Lesson Ideas

Note: Safety is the utmost importance while teaching or engaging in an archery lesson so please watch that as you are doing this lesson.

The game resembles "Plinko" from the game show The Price is Right.

Shooters shoot their predetermined number of arrows into the target butt attempting to protect the entry point of the sliding discs into boxes placed on the floor at the bottom of the targets. Shooters are defending the boxes (the arrows become the pegs-as seen on the Plinko board from the game show). After all arrows have been shot, the non-shooter walks to the back of the target butt and releases his disc (Plinko chip) from the top of the target butt, letting it slide down the target face and find its way through the arrows (pegs) until it falls into one of the boxes on the floor. Boxes have assigned values, the non-shooter receives these points. The game is played until one player or group of players reaches the pre-determined game total. It is recommended that the target butts be leaned back slightly to allow the discs to slide down the target face.
