If you look in a families garden games selection, you can guarantee you will find a flying disc, it could be traditionally shaped or have a hole in the middle to help it glide better. We’ve all thrown one through the air, but how many different games can you actually play? We list our top 5:
5) Catch
Catch is probably the most basic game but allows us to have lots of fun just by passing the disc to each other, whether in the garden or park. Dogs go mad for anything that flies, so is great exercise for them (although the edges may certainly be chewed).
4) Freestyle
As the name suggests you can do anything you wish with the disc, often performed individually or in groups. Routines can be created to music or performed on the spot.
3) Disc Golf
There are a number of public disc golf courses across the UK, but there is nothing stopping you from creating your own course using trees and buildings as obstacles. Amateur and professional players often have different discs for different types of shots, very similar to a golfers set of clubs.
2) Sticks
This can be played with as little as 2 players. Place two garden canes into the ground at both sides of the court/garden with overturned plastic cups on. The object of the game is for the opposing player(s) to knock the cups off and score points, players can also catch the disc to deduct points from the other team.
1) Ultimate
As you may have already guessed the game originated in the states, although its interest is growing across the UK due to its simplicity. To play you need 2 teams of 7 players, a rectangular court and a flying disc. The object of the game is to score by having a player catch the disc in the end zone. Once in possession of the disc, players have to keep their landing foot on the ground and have 10 seconds to pass the disc.
So how many more games can you think of?
