Grab some simple household items and make some nerf target games!

Planning a Nerf birthday party? Or just need something for the kids to do? We’ve got you covered! At our house, we have lots of boys who love Nerf guns. But with four of them running around, it can get quite annoying when they constantly shoot each other (and then complain and tattle) or shoot ME! Or break things! Thankfully, there are so many fun target games that you can make using materials from around the house, and creating the game becomes half the fun. Here are several awesome ideas for Nerf targets to make.

Exploding Stick Bombs

These stick bombs are held together by tension, and then they fly apart when you hit them with a Nerf dart! You can see how to make them here: STICK BOMBS

We used a cardboard box to make little stands for them. The blue things are straws that we glued down to keep the stick bombs from sliding.

BOOM! So cool.

Simple Target with Holes

Set up this simple game with a poster board! We traced plates and cups to make various sized openings. Then I added point values. Great for a rainy day! We used a PVC pipe frame (because we have lots of PVC lying around… no joke!) but you can attach it to anything really. Hang it from the ceiling with string or attach it to a couple of chairs.

The smaller holes are the highest point values.

    Hey Sarah
    I love your blog. So many great ideas. I especially loved your mud playdough recipe for construction vehicle play.
    I have a question about the nerf guns. I have a 4 year old and I want to buy him one. But I have no idea which one will be safe for him to use at this age. Can you help me?
    I am dying to try all these nerf target games.

    Thanks
    Richa

    Many famous, and never so famous, lead guitarists will advise you
    they never stop learning, never stop practicing and never stop perfecting their style.

    When there exists more income - In relation to things,Prices will rise - In response to demand.
    Watch successful lead guitarists and discover where did they generally go looking a lot more confident than their back-up guitarists.

    Hi, I'm a Grandmother raising my Grandson. He's now 13 but we can still use so many of these ideas. Especially now with the SIP. Thank you.

    Hi! Loved the nerf gun targets - I made the hanging board with the circles BUT I used cookie cutters and stencils to make different shapes - more fun and decorated the poster board with stickers. FUN
