DIY Tailgating Ring Toss Game

 

Who loves football?  I have to be honest that I don’t watch a ton of football games, but I love the sound of them in the house.  There is something so home-y and cozy about football on the tv.

But I DO love whenever I get the chance to go tailgating!  It is a ton of fun to hang out with friends before the game starts.

Here is a super easy ring toss game that I made for those tailgating days.

 

 

This was so easy to make!

Here are the supplies:  {and where I got them}

piece of plywood {You can have it cut to size at Lowe’s.}

basket or crate to hold bottles {I got my silver basket from Lowe’s.}

glass bottles {Kroger}

blue, green, and white spray paint {Lowe’s}

KILZ spray primer {Lowe’s}

rope  {Lowe’s}

duck tape  {Lowe’s}

white paint pen  {Hobby Lobby}

gorilla glue  {Lowe’s}

 

First off, I bought some glass bottle drinks for my ring toss game.  My boys enjoyed drinking up the sugary goodness, and then I washed them out and let them dry.

Then I primed all the bottles with KILZ spray primer.

After the primer dried, I spray painted half the bottles blue and half the bottles white to represent the colors of the Kentucky Wildcat football team.

 

I also spray painted the plywood green with this paint.

Next, I cut some pieces of rope to make the rings and secured them with three different colors of duck tape so three people could play the game at a time.

To make the make the board look like a football field, I used my blue duck tape for the end zones, and tore my white duck tape into smaller pieces to create the yard lines.

 

I used a white paint pen that I already had to paint “Kentucky Wildcats” in the end zones and to write the numbers on the yard lines.

Next, I used my gorilla glue to attached the bottles to the basket, and the basket to the board.

That’s it!  Now my ring toss game is ready to play!

How To Play:

1.  Mark a line 3-6 feet away from the bottles for game players to stand behind when tossing rings.

2.  Give each player 4 rings and have them stand behind the line.

3.  Take turns tossing the rings on the bottles.  The player who rings the most bottles wins!!

 

I can’t wait to watch my boys play this game! They are going to love it.
