Peanut Toss Game

By , About.com Guide

Make and play this unique and fun game.

Materials Needed:

  • Coffee Cans or cans the same size
  • Duct or Masking Tape
  • Paper
  • Crayons or Marker
  • Peanuts

Instructions:
Make sure the metal rim of the cans do not have jagged edges or cover the edges with tape. Cover the cans with paper and draw the numerals 1 through 5 (or however many cans you have) on the front of each can and you can mark the corresponding number of peanut shapes on each can. Have the participants try to toss the correct amount of peanuts in each can. Watch children closely with peanuts; they may pose a choking danger!
