Instructions

    • 1

      Fill five glass or plastic bottles with sand. Arrange the bottles in a straight line on a table, creating a ring toss game. Provide contestants with small hoops to toss around the necks of the bottles.

    • 2

      Lay a piece of cardboard or plywood on the ground. Arrange empty 2-ltr. soda bottles on top of the cardboard or plywood in a bowling pin formation. Players roll small foam balls toward the bottles to try to knock them down.

    • 3

      Print the numbers 1, 3 and 5 on index cards. Attach the card with the number 1 on a large bowl, the card with the number 3 on a medium-sized bowl and the card with the number 5 on a small bowl. Arrange the bowls in a vertical row with about 5-inches of space between them -- the bowls should be arranged from largest to smallest. Offer players beanbags to try to toss into the bowls; they earn the amount of points printed on the front of the bowls if they land a beanbag inside a bowl.

    • 4

      Draw a target on a piece of foamcore. Hang the foamcore on a wall or tree. Provide players with a children's suction cup archery set. Players use the suction cups archery sets to try to hit the target.

    • 5

      Set a hula hoop on the ground. Provide players with Frisbees, which they try to toss into the center of the hula hoop.

    • 6

      Lay an empty tin can on its side on the ground. Offer players a putter and a golf ball. They must try to get a hole-in-one by putting the ball into the can.
