Activity Idea : Ring Toss

For this game, contestants need the tossing skills of a Frisbee player and the good aim of a seasoned horseshoe pitcher.

For the scoring poles, you'll need nine dowels. Set them in the ground in three rows, each composed of three dowels and spaced 2 feet apart. Decorate the planted poles by wrapping them with red, white and blue crepe-paper streamers. For the rings (you'll need three per team), use a dozen sturdy paper plates. You can either purchase colored plates or spray paint plain ones. Cut out a large circle from the center of each plate. Then, place two of the plates face-to-face and tape together all the way around the rims. Repeat for the remaining five rings.

During the game, members from both teams have three attempts each to toss a ring around one of the poles. (It's fun to alternate turns between the two teams.) A ring that lands around a pole in the nearest row is worth 10 points; a ringer in the middle row earns 20 points; and a ringer in the far row earns 30 points. The team that accumulates the most points wins.
