Ladder toss is a game that you play outside with some special equipment. The equipment includes a ladder-shaped stand with three rungs or steps, and several pairs of balls tied together with a rope. The goal of the game is to throw these balls in a way that they wrap around the rungs of the ladder.
Here's how you play:
1. Place the ladder stand on the ground or grass, making sure it is stable and won't fall over. Make sure there is enough space around it so that nobody gets hurt.
2. Divide into teams and decide who goes first. Each team will take turns throwing their balls at the ladder.
3. Each player stands behind a certain distance away from the ladder. This distance can be decided by the players before the game starts.
4. To throw the ball, you hold onto the rope, swing it back and forth a little, and then release it to throw it towards the ladder. The goal is to get the balls to wrap around one of the rungs of the ladder.
5. You keep throwing until all the balls from one team are thrown. Then it's the next team's turn.
6. After each team has thrown all their balls, you count the points. If a ball wraps around the top rung of the ladder, it gets 3 points. If it wraps around the middle rung, it gets 2 points, and if it wraps around the bottom rung, it gets 1 point. If a ball doesn't wrap around a rung but still lands on the ladder, it gets 1 point.
7. The team with the most points wins the game.
The fun part about ladder toss is that it requires some skill and accuracy in throwing the balls. It's also enjoyable to watch the balls swing and wrap around the ladder. It's a great outdoor game to play with your friends or family when you have some free time.
