Paper Frisbee
To conduct the activity virtually: Invite participants to replicate the activity at home using similar objects (e.g., plastic container lids or cardboard discs).
How to run it
- Explain that the objective is to throw the paper plate as close as possible to the target plate.
- Clarify that this is a playful activity, where participation and fun are most important.
- Give each participant a paper plate.
- Show the plate that will serve as the target and ensure everyone clearly identifies it.
- Each participant, standing at the throwing line, tosses their plate, trying to land it as close as possible to the target plate.
- Allow everyone at least one throw before determining the closest plate.
- Participants use paper plates as frisbees, aiming to land as close as possible to a target plate placed about 5 meters away.
- Prepare the materials: One paper plate per participant (dessert-sized plates work best).
- One additional plate to serve as the target.
- Set up the space: Choose a wide, open area where participants can safely throw the plates.

- What that means: we track where an exercise has been observed in public sources. We do not claim to know who created it, or how popular it is.
- No efficacy claims: appearing in this library is not a claim that the exercise is proven effective. Facilitator judgment and context decide whether it works for a given room.
- Corrections: if you have evidence of an earlier or more accurate source, read our methodology and trust boundary and tell us.
