Multi Target

Multi Target – multi-purpose throwing target for balls, beanbags, flyers and quoits

Multi Target brings several aiming and throwing activities together in one adaptable outdoor-play resource. Children can use the circular base for beanbags and flyers, practise quoits or aim larger balls towards the one-metre-high ring and closed net.

The closed net retains balls over 15 cm in diameter, helping games continue smoothly and making equipment easier to retrieve. By changing the object, distance or scoring challenge, adults can adapt Multi Target for PE lessons, playground sessions, clubs, family games and community events.

What makes Multi Target special

Multi Target brings together product-specific features that create an immediate focus for play or learning. Children can explore the resource through action, observation and conversation, while adults can introduce suitable prompts without removing choice from the experience.

Gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination

Aiming towards Multi Target asks children to judge distance, direction and force before releasing an object. Repeating the action lets them alter their stance and technique while practising controlled throwing and hand-eye coordination.

Flexible physical challenges

Adults can vary the equipment, distance and scoring rules to create accessible starting points and progressive challenges. Beanbags, quoits, flyers and balls each provide a different movement experience.

Social and communication skills

Target games encourage turn-taking, score counting and positive group participation. Team formats can add cooperation and communication while keeping the practical play goal clear.

Why choose Multi Target

this resource offers clear practical benefits that arise from the product’s genuine design and contents. It gives children an engaging reason to participate while allowing adults to vary the pace, vocabulary and challenge around the core activity.

For educational settings, the resource can support planned sessions, small-group work and repeat provision. At home, it provides an active alternative to screen-based entertainment and creates opportunities for adults and children to play, talk and learn together.

Benefits for early years, schools and home learning

Early years practitioners can introduce this resource through one simple activity before allowing children to revisit it with growing independence. Schools can incorporate it into curriculum-linked learning, clubs or enrichment according to the product’s purpose. Families can adapt the experience to available space and children’s interests, making the resource useful beyond a single session.

Perfect for

• Nurseries, schools and early years settings
• Purposeful learning through play
• Individual, paired or group activities where appropriate
• Home learning and family play

Gift suitability

this resource is a considered gift for children or settings that value practical, reusable play equipment. Its flexible activity potential encourages repeat use and allows new challenges, stories or learning goals to be introduced over time.

Building skills through progressive target games

this resource can be introduced with a large, easy-to-handle object and a short throwing distance. As accuracy develops, adults can increase the distance, change the target area, introduce a smaller item or add a simple points system. Children can therefore experience achievable starting points while continuing to meet new challenges.

The different target sections also make activity stations possible. One group may practise quoits while another uses the circular base or raised net, before rotating between challenges. This supports efficient use during PE lessons and helps children compare the movement needed for different objects.

Supporting confident participation

this resource gives children a clear activity focus while allowing the adult to adjust pace and complexity. Participants can select an object, judge the target and refine throwing technique across repeat attempts. Familiar equipment can be revisited so children understand the routine and have time to refine their approach.

Adults can model the first action, use concise language and recognise effort, cooperation and problem-solving. As familiarity grows, children can make more choices, suggest variations or help organise part of the activity. This gradual progression helps this resource remain engaging across repeat sessions and supports meaningful participation without promising identical outcomes for every learner.
