A rigid, hand-held disc launcher is provided for launching small cardboard discs, having a handle (1) attached to a head (2) which is curved in a substantially semi-circular arc of approximately 180 degrees. A slot (3) runs through the entire arc of the curved head with a first opening (4) in the head near the handle and a second opening (5) being located at the other end of the head. A disc inserted in the first opening is launched from the second opening when accelerated by centrifugal forces caused by the disc launcher being swung forward by the handle. A wall of the slot may include a trough (10) to prevent objects smaller than the disc from being launched. The launcher may include a cavity (22) for storing a plurality of discs. A wall of the slot may include teeth (104) to improve acceleration of the disc.
