When it comes to celebrations, I like to have a lot of games that are easy to make and set up like this Olaf Bowling Game, Ring the Pumpkin Game, and Water Balloon Volleyball.

This fun Sombrero game is incredibly easy to set up. It’s both enjoyable and challenging to play. My teenagers and I were seriously competing to see who could get the most rings on the Sombreros.

Setting the Game Up to Play

Set this game up at an angle against a tall background. Leaning the game ensures that the hats can be ringed. If it is vertical, then they are virtually impossible to ring.

Place a marker for players to stand behind. If indoors, this could be a strip of tape, and if outside, it could be a stick or spray-painted line on the grass.

Ring Toss Game Classic Rules

Objective: Score points by landing rings around the objects

Points for placements
Ring over the peg – Award 2 points
Leaners (If it is touching the hat, but not ringing it) – Award 1 point
Missing targets: No points for rings on the ground

Playing Sombrero Ring Toss

If you have enough players to make teams, divide them into teams

Each player should get three tries to ring the Sombreros

Count up the points. Their turn is over.

Next in line, or a person from the other team, goes next.

The first team to get to twenty-one points wins the game.
