How to Make a Polish Throwing Game

Along with the summer's sunshine come outdoor party and drinking games. Polish horseshoes, also known as beersbee or Spanish horseshoes, is a Frisbee-throwing game that pits four players, broken into two teams, against each other to try and score the most points by knocking a bottle from the top of a pole. It can be played as a drinking game with each person holding an alcoholic drink in his hand, or family party game without alcohol.

Things You'll Need

2 ski poles
Measuring tape
2 glass bottles or beverage cans
Masking tape
Frisbee

Instructions

- 1
  Locate an open playing area, such as a backyard or park. Grasp one ski pole firmly and plunge the tip of the pole into the ground. Wiggle the pole to make sure it is steady and will not be easily knocked over.
- 2
  Measure 40 feet from the pole with a measuring tape. Insert a second ski pole into the ground at the 40-foot mark. Check that the second pole is sturdy.
- 3
  Wrap two glass bottles with masking tape -- if using glass -- to help prevent the bottles from breaking. Balance one can or bottle on top of each ski pole.
- 4
  Stand by one ski pole and throw a Frisbee to attempt to knock the bottle from the opposite pole. Each time you knock a bottle from the top of the pole you earn points.
