📌What You’ll Need
Small red cups – these are 2 ounces and you will need 24.
Mini jingle bells – you can usually find these at the dollar store as well.
Canvas or foam sheets – to make the playing boards. You can also cut a piece of foam board to size if you don’t want to use a canvas set.
Velcro Dots – to attach the cups to the boards; if you don’t want to use velcro dots, you can hot glue all of the cups down, but I like the dots so we can store it flat and it takes up less space.
✨Assembling the Boards
Add velcro dots to the bottoms of the cups.
Use another 2 velcro dots or hot glue on the bottom of the boards to attach two mini cups so the boards stand up a little bit.
Then place the velcro dots on top of the boards, starting with 4 on the first row, then 3, then 2, then one.
Repeat for the other board.
The best part is that once you are done playing, you can remove the cups and it stores easier for next year.
👇How to Play Jingle Bell Toss
if you have ever played pong with large red solo cups, the concept is the same except with a festive twist!
Players will take turns tossing the bells into the mini cups.
When a cup is made, the team will take that cup off the board.
Then they get another turn.
Once the team misses a cup, it’s time for the next team to play.
Repeat until all of the cups are gone.
When there is one cup remaining, you must make two shots in order to win.
The first team to clear all the cups wins.
🎄Other Ways to Play
Use large solo cups and a regular size poster board to make a jumbo jingle bell toss.
Set a timer and see which teams gets the most bells in the cups.
If you don’t want to use bells you can try with cotton balls, but it will be a little harder since they are so light.
You can play in teams. Just take turns. Once you miss, when it’s your turn again the next player will go.
