Ideas for Making a Shooting Game out of Cardboard! A Collection of Simple, Exciting Ideas for Kids and Adults

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

Try making your own original targets that are fun to look at! In this article, we’ll introduce an easy method for anyone to try making a shooting game.

Enjoy a handmade shooting game full of warmth with your family and friends.

Cannon cardboard target practice

An idea recommended for those who want to make serious cardboard crafts: the “Cannon Cardboard Target Game.” Both the targets and the cannon are made by assembling pre-cut cardboard parts.

The cannon is a fully featured build with adjustable angles, and inside it has a rod set up to push out a ball using rubber bands.

You pull the rod back and release it to launch the ball with force.

It’s also fun that if you hit the target just right, Bowser falls down.

Why not try making it with your favorite character?

Easy cardboard target game

Here’s an easy target game craft you can make with just cardboard and tape! Prepare a cardboard box in your preferred size, then either cut off the flaps or fold them inward.

Cut several strips of tape and stick them across the opening of the box with the adhesive side facing up.

That’s your target done! Get some balls made of a material that will stick to the adhesive but peel off easily—such as soft color balls—and try throwing them at the target.

If you throw well, the balls will stick to the tape!

Cardboard Frisbee

@yuri_mama4254
Done in 1 minute! Super-flying cardboard frisbee Got a pile of cardboard? In that case… A cardboard frisbee you can make in one minute that flies amazingly and is so fun! ❣️ My daughter could launch it too ✨ Kids build problem-solving skills by experimenting to make it fly well 👏 Materials: • Cardboard • Rubber bands • Stickers, markers (for decoration) Tips for playing: • If the slits are cut at too wide an angle, the rubber band won’t catch well—be careful. • When launching, it flew better when the slits weren’t too far to the back (on your side). Check the video 😊 I’d be happy if you leave a comment saying, “We played!” 💕 Thanks for watching till the end ❤️❤️ Try making one yourself 😆 ☆－－－－☆－－－－☆－－－－☆－－－－☆ Hello 😊 I’m Riyu, an active nursery school teacher 🌷 I share at-home play ideas to solve “What should I do with the kids?” ✨ Instagram → @riyu_asobi There are posts only on Instagram too 😊 Come take a look 🎶 ☆－－－－☆－－－－☆－－－－☆－－－－☆#AtHomePlay　#AtHomePlay　#StayHomeTime　Ideas for at-home play　#HandmadeToys　Craft play　Craft Play　Play ideas

After cutting the cardboard into a circle, make a triangular notch in one spot.

Decorate the cardboard with stickers or drawings using a pen.

Hook a rubber band onto it and let go of the cardboard—it will fly.

You can make the target out of cardboard as well, or simply stack paper cups for an easy option.

The frisbee’s size is up to you, but if it’s too big or too small it can be hard to handle, so around 10 centimeters is recommended.

Roll up long, cut strips of cardboard to make rings, create five of them, and stick them onto a base piece of cardboard.

Write point values inside the rings to complete the target.

This toy launches a ball into the target rings, so make a launcher by stacking and gluing an ice cream stick and a plastic bottle cap onto a clothespin.

Clip the clothespin onto the base to secure the launcher, and use a ball made from crumpled aluminum foil.

Put the ball into the bottle cap, press the ice cream stick downward, and release—it will shoot out with force.
