The thunk of a wooden baton toppling a kubb across the lawn.

🎯 Better aim: four wooden batons thrown underarm at ten 12cm kubbs
👑 Clear goal: a 24cm king pin that decides the game when it finally falls
👨‍👩‍👧 Mixed ages: 2 to 6 players aged 8 years and up, as pairs or teams
🌳 Quick setup: four marker pins mark the play zone on the lawn or at the park
🧽 Easy care: solid timber pieces that wipe clean with a damp cloth

The Educator's Note

Underarm throwing at a target builds shoulder and arm control and distance judgement, and the game gives children a reason to repeat it dozens of times.
The rules ask for decisions, not just aim: which kubb to hit first, where to toss a toppled block, and when it is safe to go for the king.
It sets up in minutes, plays with 2 to 6 people, and lets an 8 year old and a grandparent compete on level terms, which is rare for an outdoor game in this age range.

Set out the four marker pins, line up the kubbs and the game starts in minutes. Players throw wooden batons underarm to topple the other side's kubbs, then take aim at the king pin. It rewards good aim and a bit of tactics. Made for children aged 8 years and up, it works for two players or teams of up to six, so parents and grandparents can join the same game.

Also available in a great value bundle

Kubb suits children who are ready for outdoor games with real rules, and the adults who want to play alongside them.

Children aged 8 to 10 who have outgrown simple throwing games and want one where tactics matter
Families with mixed ages, from an 8 year old to grandparents, who want everyone in the same backyard game
A parent and child wanting a one-on-one challenge, since the set plays with just 2 players
Households planning summer holidays or Christmas Day on the lawn, where a group game keeps a crowd of cousins busy

How a game of Kubb plays out

Kubb is a Swedish lawn game with a simple idea. Two sides take turns throwing wooden batons underarm to knock over the other side's kubbs, the short wooden blocks lined up along its baseline. Once those are down, the king pin in the centre becomes the target. Knock it over too early and your side loses, so aim and planning have to work together.

What builds while they play

Each throw is a controlled underarm swing. A baton thrown too hard or too high misses by a metre, so children learn quickly to judge distance and adjust their arm. That is the gross motor control that carries into cricket, softball and backyard ball games.

There is thinking in it too. Which kubb do you aim at first? Where do you toss a toppled block so the other side has a harder job? Choosing a plan on the spot builds tactical thinking that a quick game of catch never asks for.

Set up in minutes, made to last

The set holds a 24cm wooden king pin, ten 12cm wooden kubbs, four throwing batons and four marker pins for the play zone, plus playing instructions. Everything is solid timber, so it stands up to repeated throws and knocks.

Store it indoors and keep it off wet grass, rain and dew. A wipe with a damp cloth is all the cleaning it needs. Children who grew up on catch-and-throw games move on to team tactics from around 8 years, and the game keeps its challenge as aim sharpens into planning several throws ahead, with enough skill in it that adults stay interested.
