Outside Game ~ Rocket Toss

Rocket Toss

 Supplies:
6 ~ Empty, Clean Metal Cans (15oz Veggie cans work good)
Ribbon
Colored Duct Tape (optional, if you decide not to use the tape, then make sure all sharp edges are covered with something)
Dry Rice
3 Small Un-Mated socks
3 Rubber-bands or Hair ties

Partygoers will have a blast playing this classic carnival game made from recycled metal cans and homemade "rockets."

For the cans, adhere strips of red, white, and blue duct tape to six clean, empty 15-ounce metal cans, covering any sharp edges. For thinner lines, simply overlap the tape. To make the rockets, use a funnel to fill three small socks with rice (we used about 1/2 cup in each) and tie them off with a hair tie or a rubber band. Thread a 3-foot length of sheer ribbon through each tie and knot it in the center to secure it. To play, set up the cans in a pyramid. Standing several feet away, each player gets three tries to knock down all the cans with the rockets.
