They stood behind a tape line. We used three different items to toss the rings into or on: cones, baskets, and bins.<\/p>\n<p>The bins were the easiest for them ot use. You could just toss them in really easy.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/7-2012\/olympicringtoss4.jpg\" alt=\"Olympic Ring Toss\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/7-2012\/olympicringtoss5.jpg\" alt=\"Ring Toss Using Olympic Ring Colors\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Toss the Rings into the Basket<\/h3>\n<p>The basket was slightly harder but you could still get it in if you worked at it.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/7-2012\/olympicringtoss6.jpg\" alt=\"Olympic Ring Toss\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/7-2012\/olympicringtoss7.jpg\" alt=\"Ring Toss Using Olympic Ring Colors\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/7-2012\/olympicringtoss8.jpg\" alt=\"Ring Toss Using Olympic Ring Colors\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Toss the Rings onto the Cones<\/h3>\n<p>The cones were the hardest for them to do. They worked harder at getting the rings on. My youngest often took a step up so that she had an easier time.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/7-2012\/olympicringtoss9.jpg\" alt=\"Ring Toss Using Olympic Ring Colors\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/7-2012\/olympicringtoss10.jpg\" alt=\"Ring Toss Using Olympic Ring Colors\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>After we got done we talked about which was easier to toss the rings to and which toss was the easiest or hardest.
