"Today I'm going to show you how to make a favorite game that's been around for a long time. It's the old fashioned ring toss game, and we're going to make it from scratch; using many of the things you can find right around your house. Let me tell you the supplies you're going to need for making the ring toss game. We're going to need to have a scissor on hand. One to cut the plastic lids that are going to be used as the rings. We're also going to be cutting up some paper to decorate the ring toss box, and the pole that's going to be sticking out of the box. So it's good to have a scissor on hand, and as I mentioned; the lids are going to be the rings. These are regular plastic lids that you find on cans; maybe a can of oatmeal, or a juice concentrate container. They're the bigger size, but you can really use any type of size; it would just change the strategy of the game. But that's what we're using as our rings. We're also going to need a pen, an exacto knife, and a paint brush. We're going to be using a paper towel roll. That is going to be coming out of a shoebox; it's going to be the stick that we're going to be throwing the rings on. We're going to need a shoebox to put the paper towel rolls in. We're going to need some wrapping paper; to decorate the ring toss game, and some white glue; regular craft glue, or school glue, and masking tape; to help put it all together. So those are the supplies that you're going to be needing to make the old-fashioned ring toss game."
