Toss a beanbag underhand into a target
When to use this goal
For young students who drop, fling, or throw beanbags backward in tossing games. The underhand toss comes before overhand throwing and is used in many preschool games. Fit depends on a trial, not age.
- Baseline
- Score 10 tosses at 5 feet at the hoop and 10 at the bucket. Note release timing; early release sends beanbags up, late release sends them down short.
- Tips
- Beanbags do not roll away, which keeps practice moving. Move to overhand throwing (mt-gm-012) after this.
- Limits
- Target size changes results a lot; keep it fixed for probes.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, given 10 beanbags and a bucket 5 feet away, the student will swing the arm back and forward below the waist and release the beanbag so it lands in the target independently in at least 6 of 10 trials, across 3 consecutive weekly sessions, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly during PE or motor play.
Baseline: 2 of 10 opportunities.

- Record up to 10 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
