This fun skeeball toss for kids had no directions on how to make it. It was easy enough to figure out from the pictures. I used a 4 pack of colored poster board that I found at Walmart for under $3 and a pack of LEGO plates from the dollar tree.

LEGO Plates
Cricut Maker
Let’s Create a Skeeball Toss for Kids-LEGO Themed
I didn’t measure the lengths of all the poster board pieces put together for each color. However I do have the amounts that I used for each color. To make the game, cut all the poster board pieces vertical the long length of the poster board. I made all my strips 5 inches wide. As I was creating it I put the pieces together and paper clipped them to make sure it looked right.
Blue Poster Board- 3 1/2 strips
Yellow Poster Board- 2 1/4 strips
Green Poster Board- 1 1/2 strips
Orange Poster Board- 3/4 of a strip
For connecting the poster board strips I used double sided tape. I tested the tape and left the game out for a couple hours on the floor. All the pieces stayed connected except for the orange one. so hot glue to the rescue. I did connect all of these pieces into rings and stored them which was not a good idea. The rings had to be bent back into circles. I would suggest laying them flat until you go to the play the game.
To add on the numbers, I used LEGO plates from Dollar Tree. Decorative plates don’t have to be just for eating, use them for games and decor too. The Dollar Tree has a great selection for a LEGO party. I made the numbers using my Cricut Maker in black card stock and attached them to the plates. Then hot glue the plates to the rings. If you don’t have a Cricut, print out the numbers, or use a stencil or stickers.
The kids will love it if they get a 100! To play the game you can use small bean bags, I wouldn’t use super heavy ones, or small balls. We have the balls for inside a ball tent and those worked great too.
This game would be great for a class party at school or a carnival game day or to beat summer boredom. Do you know someone who would enjoy this?
