No.79
Ring Toss
Japanese name: 輪投げ
Materials
- A stable ring-toss target stand
- 3–9 soft rings
- A throwing line
How to play
- Set the target stand securely and mark a throwing line about 1–2 m away. Give everyone the same number of rings.
- Take turns throwing from behind the line toward the target pegs. Stay behind the line until rings stop moving.
- After all your throws, count rings settled around pegs. In this introductory format, each ring scores 1 point.
- Check that nobody is throwing before collecting rings and changing players.
- Give everyone two turns and compare total points. Later, try scoring by the target stand’s numbers.
Ways to adapt
Preschool children: close range. Older primary school children: score by the numbers on the stand.
