The Great Big Doughnut Toss

Chocolate and vanilla, yummy and sweet.
Jelly and custard are always a treat.
Doughnuts are delicious, can they get any better?
With a life-size doughnut toss, you get a doubleheader!

Supplies:
Large swimming tube with a doughnut design

How to Put It Together:
Blow up the tube and you’re ready to start. Station this booth in an area that has plenty of room, with no fragile items nearby that may get knocked over.

Object of the Game:
Players need to toss the doughnut ring onto the person manning the booth.

How to Play:
Players toss the doughnut ring and attempt to get it to land on the person manning the booth. You can decide how many tries each player gets. For a shorter player, standing on a step stool might be helpful.

Flip the Latke

Make the perfect latke, golden brown and crisp.
One side’s all done, ready to be flipped.
Catch it in your pan, don’t let it flip out,
And you’ll have the best latke without a doubt!

Supplies:
Small frying pan with a hole at the end of the handle
Brown and tan felt, each cut into 4-inch circles
One crunched-up paper towel, napkin, or batting to stuff the felt latke
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Ribbon or string

How to Put It Together:
Hot glue your felt circles together around the perimeter about ³⁄₄ of the way around. Add stuffing to the latke. Cut your ribbon about double the length of your frying pan handle. Insert one end of the ribbon into the opening in your latke. Finish gluing your latke closed, securing the ribbon in there with the glue as well. Tie the other end of the ribbon to the hole in the frying pan handle.

Object of the Game:
Players need to flip the latke in the frying pan. They need to get the brown “ready” side flipped up and catch the latke back in the pan with the tan “not yet fried” side facedown in the pan.

How to Play:
Start with the brown side of the latke facedown in the frying pan. Players need to flick the frying pan to flip the latke and catch it back in the pan with the tan side facedown. (The ribbon is to ensure that the latke doesn’t fly too far or keep dropping on the floor.)
