Ring & Washer Toss in Toss Games

Washer toss is a fun outdoor game where players take turns tossing washers toward a box or hole. Here's a simple way to play and keep score:

• Setup: Place two boxes or targets about 20 feet apart.
• Gameplay: Players toss washers aiming to land them inside the box or near the hole.
• Scoring: Typically, washers in the hole score 3 points, washers inside the box but not in the hole score 1 point.
• Winning: The first player or team to reach 21 points wins, but if a player goes over 21, their score may drop back to a lower number depending on house rules.

This scoring method can vary, so it's good to agree on rules before starting.

Improving accuracy in ring toss games involves a mix of technique and practice. Here are some helpful tips:

• Focus on your stance: Stand steady with feet shoulder-width apart for balance.
• Use a consistent throwing motion: Develop a smooth underhand toss, releasing the ring with a gentle flick of the wrist.
• Aim carefully: Pick a target spot and aim to land the ring around it rather than just throwing hard.
• Practice distance control: Adjust your throw strength based on how far the target is.
• Stay relaxed: Tension can affect your throw, so keep your arm and hand relaxed.

With regular practice, these tips can help enhance your ring toss skills.

Organizing a washer toss game for a party is a great way to add fun and friendly competition. Here's how to set it up:

1. Choose a location: Find a flat outdoor space with enough room for the tossing distance (usually 20 feet apart).
2. Set up targets: Place two washer toss boxes or targets facing each other at the correct distance.
3. Gather equipment: Provide enough washers for players, typically 2-3 washers per player.
4. Explain rules: Briefly go over scoring and gameplay to ensure everyone understands.
5. Create teams or play individually: Depending on the number of guests, organize players into teams or singles.
6. Keep score: Assign someone to track points or rotate scorekeeping among players.

This setup encourages social interaction and keeps the party lively.

Ring toss games come in a variety of materials, each offering different durability and feel. Common materials include:

• Wood: Often used for vintage or rustic-style ring toss sets, providing a sturdy and classic look.
• Plastic: Lightweight and weather-resistant, plastic rings and targets are popular for kids' sets and outdoor use.
• Metal: Some premium sets use metal rings or stakes for added weight and durability.
• Foam or rubber: Soft rings made from foam or rubber are safe for indoor play and younger children.

Choosing a material depends on where you plan to play and who will be playing.

Many ring and washer toss games offer replacement parts to extend the life of your set. You can often find:

• Extra rings or washers: Useful if pieces get lost or damaged during play.
• Replacement targets or stakes: Some sets allow you to buy new targets or stakes separately.
• Carrying bags or storage cases: Helpful for keeping all parts organized and portable.

When shopping, check the product details or contact Walmart customer service to see if replacement parts are available for your specific game set.
