Lord of the Ring Toss
Teachers can easily recreate the classic and simple game of Ring Toss for their classroom using RAFT materials. In this version, students get points for a “ringer”, but also get points for getting close (like in horseshoes). To get their score, students need to measure distance to the rings in Metric.
