Thank you for volunteering your time to manage the 4th grade station!


Who would like to earn volunteer hours while helping to raise money which directly benefits the fourth grade class?


I also welcome ideas for small prizes and donations of materials and small prizes, read on for more details!

RING TOSS ACTIVITY - BOOTH # 9

Supplies Needed:


RINGS

Note - these were purchased.



GAME BOARD

My vision: approximately 15-20 pegs or dowels on a wooden board, evenly spaced in a grid pattern/rows & columns of equal number - the final size/product can be moved easily (two people at most) so it can be reused in our classroom for indoor recess! It can be plain wood or MDF - paint it or leave it natural - your call.


SIGNAGE

(1) poster with the rules of the game and cost to play - two (2) tickets

(2) name of the booth (I will make this with our class)


PRIZES

Ideas? ready to donate?
