Puck!

The goal of Puck! is pretty straightforward: Throw a puck on a flat surface so that it will bounce back up and into a cup. The instructions offer the following three games:

• Fast Battle
• Each player creates a triangle of five pucks, ensuring that their foremost cup is touching the foremost cup of their opponent.
• Players each take 20 pucks.
• When ready, shout "PUCK!" to start the game.
• Both players simultaneously bounce pucks, attempting to get them into their opponent's cups.
• If a puck lands in one of your single cups, quickly put your stack of cups on top of it. If a puck lands in your stack, quickly put an empty cup on top of the stack.
• The first player to get a puck in the top of their opponent's stack of five cups wins!
• Free-For-All Puck Sanity
• For 2-3 players, each players starts with 2 cups. For 4-5 players each player starts with 1 cup. Each player sets their cup(s) to their side within easy reach.
• Place one cup in the middle of all the players.
•  Divide the pucks evenly amongst all players.
• When ready, everyone shouts "PUCK!" and races to bounce one of their pucks into the middle cup.
• If a player gets one of their pucks into the middle cup, they quickly stack one of their cups onto the middle cup.
• The first player to get all of their cups PLUS one final puck into the middle stack in the PUCK Grandmaster.
• The Grudge Match
• Set up a row of five cups in front of each player/team.
• Players/teams take 20 pucks each.
• Taking turns, player try to bounce one puck from behind their row to land in one of their opponent's cups. If a puck lands in one of your single cups, put your stack of cups on top of it. If a puck lands in your stack, put an empty cup on top.
• If you land a puck in your opponent's cup, you go again. If you don't or you bounce one into your own cup, the play passes to your opponent. 
• The first player to get a puck in the top of their opponent's stack of five wins.

Try this:

• Practice bouncing the pucks into the cups before playing an actual game to get the feel.
• Assess your success after each puck lands and adjust your attempt as necessary for the next try. (i.e. bounced too hard, too far to the left, etc.)
•  Place all the cups in the middle of the playing area. Bounce your pucks into any of the cups. Reduce the amount of cups as you get better to narrow your options and improve your aim.
• Work on eye-hand coordination, spatial relations, manual dexterity, executive functioning, social interaction skills, motor planning, grading pressure, process skills, play and leisure exploration and participation

•  In the box: 11 cups, 40 pucks
