Dino Slingshot Game Description

This dinosaur slingshot game is a fun and easy party activity where kids use mini dino sling shots to aim at different targets. You can switch it up by having them aim for hula hoops on the ground, a laundry basket, or a row of stacked cups. Before the game starts, let each child practice by shooting their dino at a wall first so they can learn how the sling shot works and how far it flies. This helps everyone feel more confident before taking their official turn and it usually ends up to be the most fun part!

Simple Rules

  • Each child gets 3 dino chances per turn.

  • Players can aim for one target type or rotate between targets.

  • If using hula hoops, the goal is to land the dino inside the hoop.

  • If using a laundry basket, the goal is to shoot the dino into the basket.

  • If using stacked cups, the goal is to knock down as many cups as possible.

  • You can award 1 point for each successful shot or just play for fun.

Optional Easy Scoring Ideas

  • Hula hoop: 1 point for landing inside

  • Laundry basket: 1 point for making it in

  • Stacked cups: 1 point per cup knocked over
