Quoits
Throw small hoops made of rope, rubber or metal with the aim of landing them on an upright stick or target to score.
How To Play
Step 1.
Make your targets using small sticks or tubes with numbers from 5 to 100 written onto them. Make some quiots using rope, rubber rings, small hula hoops or the like.
Step 2.
Players take it in turns to throw 3, 4 or 5 quoits from an equal distance, depending on age. Agree how many turns each player will have then tot up the scores as you go along. Quoits hanging from the top of the target do not count, they must fall to the ground!
