What are the benefits of the sandbag-throwing game for young children

Playing dodgeball with a sandbag is a game where players throw a sandbag, and it is one of the classic Chinese collective games for children. It was extremely popular from the 1980s to the 1990s. After entering the 21st century, with economic development and an increase in entertainment options, this game has gradually faded from children’s sight, but it remains a common collective activity for them.

1. Game Preparation: One sandbag.
2. Specific Gameplay
3. Before the game starts, everyone is divided into two teams using methods such as “rock-paper-scissors” or others, and the teams stand a certain distance apart.
4. Determine which team will start throwing the sandbag through “rock-paper-scissors”.
5. The game begins. If the sandbag hits someone, that person leaves the game. Within a set time limit, the team with more remaining players wins.

By quickly throwing and dodging the sandbag, children can improve their reaction abilities. The rapid running and dodging during the game can enhance children’s physical fitness, exercise their leg muscles, and improve their balance. The dodgeball game with a sandbag requires team members to communicate and coordinate with each other, which can exercise children’s language communication skills and promote their verbal development.
