Ring Toss

You can make your own ring toss game with some paper plates and a paper towel roll.

First, glue the empty paper towel roll onto a paper plate so it is standing straight up.

Next, cut out the inside part of several paper plates. Leave about 2 inches around the outside. These are the rings you will toss.

Let the game begin! Toss the rings onto the paper towel roll. Score a point each time you ring the paper towel roll.

If you find the game too easy, move farther away. If the game is too hard, move a bit closer.
