Polka-Dot Penny Pitch
Ages school-age

Players will see spots before their eyes when they play this version of the classic midway game.

What you'll need

  • White plastic tablecloth
  • Card or picnic table
  • Tin can
  • Permanent markers
  • Clean dustpan and broom
  • Bowl or bag
  • Pennies
  • NUMBER OF PLAYERS: Unlimited, but one at a time

How to play

  1. Setup: Place the tablecloth over the table, then trace around the can with the markers to create circles all over the surface. Mark a throwing line several feet back from the table. Equip a helper with a dustpan and broom and a bowl or bag for sweeping the pennies off the table after each player is done pitching.

  2. Playing the Game: Each player gets five pennies per turn. Standing behind the line, he tosses the pennies, one at a time, onto the game board. If his penny lands entirely within one of the circles, he wins a prize: a piece of penny candy.
