Flying Disc Golf
Make a course of six or
eight “holes” by setting up a
series of objects or sites to
try and hit with a Frisbee. ®
Tie a brightly colored ribbon
on a tree or pole as a good
place to start. An empty
bucket or laundry basket
also makes a good “hole.”
In 1948,Walter
Frederick Morrison and
Warren Franscioni
created a plastic disc
that could fly with better
accuracy than a tin pie plate.

When Morrison sold the
rights to Wham-O in
1957, the company
named the disc the Frisbee ®
(pronounced FRIZ'-bee).
One or more players take
turns attempting to hit each
target with a flying disc toy.
Today, the fifty-year-old
Frisbee ® is owned by
Mattel Toy Manufacturers,
only one of at least sixty
manufacturers of flying
discs.
Flying Disc Games
New
Combos
Many games are now played
with a flying disc.
Players count how many
throws they take to hit the
target. Wherever your
Frisbee ® lands, you take
your next shot from that spot.
Look through the
newspaper for two
items that don’t seem
to go together. Think
of as many ways as
you can to invent
something new by
combining those two
things. For example,
what could you make
with a combination
of a camera and
sunglasses?
Here is a list of some of them.
How do you think each game is
played? Look them up and find
out if you guessed correctly.

• Double Disc Court • Fricket
• Disc Golf

Add up your score.
The player who completes
the course in the fewest
number of throws wins.
Circle the disc that will continue the pattern in each row.
