Traditional Games

Description

Here's a fun twist on a traditional carnival game that can be played indoors or out and in teams or one-on-one.

Instructions

1. Attach weights to varying lengths of ribbon tied to helium-filled balloons to hold them in place.
2. Scatter the balloons throughout the playing area.
3. Determine the "tossing point" and have the party guests take turns trying to toss rings over the balloons.

Depending on how big the balloons are inflated, you can use quilting hoops, stiff play necklaces, hula hoops, or other items from around the house as rings. Use foam balls to hit the balloons if you don't have anything to use for hoops.

To make the game more interesting, you can assign different point values to different size or color balloons.
