The Washer Toss Game

Now that the weather has warmed up, we are all starting to plan our summer events. Everyone knows how important it is to have several forms of entertainment available at these outings, so how about trying aWasher Toss Game?

I’ve seen two forms of the Washer Toss Game. One is constructed in the shape of a box about twelve to fourteen inches square with a PVC pipe cut to match the depth of the box then glued in the middle. Points are scored by throwing the washer into the box (1 pt.) or hopefully the cup (3 pts.) Each washer toss game of this short comes with two boxes and six washers. The game can be played with either two or four players.

The other style of Washer Toss Gameis designed in more of a rectangle shape with three holes cut in the surface of the box. For this game the box is placed upside down, with the holes facing up. The hole closest to the pitcher is worth 1 pt., the middle hole is worth 3 pts., and the hole furthest away is worth 5 pts. The object is to toss the washers into the holes in the board at the opposite end. The team or player to reach 21 is the winner.

This is another great game for gatherings of all types. Both styles of the Washer Toss Gameare relatively easy to transport and have virtually no set up involved. It has been my experience that people of all ages and skill levels are attracted to this game. Even those hard to please teenagers seem to really get a kick out of playing. Keep in mind rules can be modified to benefit all players young and old alike.

If you are in charge of entertainment, why not give the Washer Toss Game a try? Whether your next event is a barbeque, tailgate party, or trip to the beach a washer toss game is sure to be the source a few smiles wherever it is played.
