- Three red pipe cleaners
- red clown nose optional
Instructions
Making the Rings
- To make the rings, twist one red and white pipe cleaner around each other
- Shape the twisted pipe cleaners into a circle
Setting Up the Game
- Find a distance where the team can line up in front of their reindeer player. This distance should be challenging to throw from but possible.
- Once you have that figured out, place a chair down for the reindeer to sit and place a marker down for the players throwing the rings to stand behind. The distance should be even for each team
- Quick Tip: Practice throwing the rings yourself to see how far you can throw them. This will help you determine a reasonable distance for teams to stand away from their target reindeer.
Playing
- Divide teams evenly
- Assign one person from each team to be the reindeer
- The reindeer needs to place the antler headband on their head and sit in the chair provided
- Optional: Place a red nose on for added cuteness
- The other players should stand across from them, behind their team's line
Typical Ring Toss Game Rules
- Players should start throwing rings toward the antlers
- Let contestants have at least three tries at ringing their teammate's antlers before the next person in line gets a turn
- Rings count as 2 points for a full ring and 1 point for a ring that is leaning on or touching the antler
- The first team to get to 21 points wins
