A tossing game includes placing two floating goals spaced apart in a body of water, each goal defining a scoring region. The participants add an amount of water to cups and toss the cups in the direction of one of the goals for at least two turns, with the participants awarded points in response to the cups being tossed into the scoring region. Each filling of the cup during a participant's turn adds variability to the game, challenging the participants to determine a suitable amount of water to be placed in the cup for their own throwing technique as well as to repeatedly add approximately the same amount of water on subsequent turns once the participants have determined the fill level that best suits them.

The string launched flexible rolling wheel or Sling Wheel is used for recreational play. The Sling Wheel is a flexible, 5 to 10-inch diameter disc/wheel that has a deep slot in which to wind a length of string with a knot or a device with which to grip or otherwise attach to the finger(s) or hand. The end of the string without the knot or handle is wound in the slot a number of turns. After the string is wound, the Sling Wheel is tossed in an underhand or overhand motion while keeping the string knot firmly grasped. The Sling Wheel spins away from the participant with a forward spin that gives it directional control and significant velocity. The string remains with the person launching the toy.

A hand-eye coordination training device and/or kit may be reconfigurable by the user to adjust the level of difficulty of use. The training device may have a hub with at least two couplings and at least two handles that interchangeably and releasably attach to the couplings on the hub. Each handle is physically differentiated from the others by shape, color, size, or other differentiating elements. Handles may be fillable with material that alters the rotation of the training device in flight. In use, a color or other differentiating feature is called, and the user must catch the appropriate handle. If a specific hand is called, the user must use that hand to make the catch. The training device may comprise a controller and at least one sensor that controls sound, light, or a combination of sound and light. The training device provides a gaming element to training sessions.

The invention is directed to a scorekeeping device for a beanbag game. The device provides a forked lower body and a cylindrical upper body. The fork points of the lower body may be inserted into mounting brackets on the bottom surface of the frame of a beanbag goal. The upper body provides scorekeeping discs which are movably mounted on two semicircular rings, and two cup holders which may be used to hold the users' drinks while the users throw beanbags at a goal. The lower body easily folds upward on the upper body for storage.

An elongated hand thrown projectile comprises a projectile body having a forward end and a rearward end with a projectile axis extending between the forward end and the rearward end. A finger grip having a longitudinal grip axis is attached to the projectile body. In an exemplary embodiment, a thumb grip comprising a planar portion is attached to the projectile body at a position longitudinally between the projectile forward end and the finger grip. The thumb grip and the finger grip are separated by a distance such that the thumb and finger of a single hand can simultaneously grip the thumb grip and finger grip. The elongated hand thrown projectile assists a pitcher in learning to throw with a linear, single-plane motion.
