This Olaf Snowball Toss (also known as Bean Bag Toss) is adorable. It’s the perfect activity for a Frozen-themed party—and best of all, it’s super easy to set up. This simple and fun Frozen party game is sure to be a crowd favorite with kids of all ages.
When I used to host classroom parties as a room mom, I tried to come up with fun and simple to set up games like this Haunted Castle Bean Bag Toss, Candy Corn Ring Toss, or this fun Pass the Prize Christmas Game.
This Olaf toss game was one of the games at my daughter’s end-of-the-year field Day. What a fun idea, and (if you can do a little sketching), simple to set up.

Setting Up and Playing
Prop the board up against a sturdy object, such as a chair, easel, or small table.
If you want, you can draw numbers next to each target as points. Bigger holes can be worth less, and smaller ones worth more.
Players should each get three to four turns to see who can get the most points for throwing snowballs through the target.
Variation
Snowballs – You can make snowballs from rolled-up socks, make yarn balls, or paper balls
Olaf Bull’s Eye Game – Assign points to parts of Olaf like his buttons, arms, and the scenery. Use a marker to write the number of points that each target is worth. Kids can take aim and try to hit the targets. Add up the points as they go, and hand out prizes for points earned or make it a team competition. The team with the most points wins.
