    How to Play the Thong Throwing Activity:

    1. Have a line from where the rubber thongs are thrown.

    To maintain order and safety during the rubber thong throwing activity, mark a clear line on the ground from which participants must throw. This helps control the throwing force and prevents accidental injuries.

    2. Have 3 pairs of rubber thongs which will give every contestant 6 throws.

    To ensure everyone has a fair chance, we’ll be providing three pairs of rubber thongs. This will allow each contestant to participate in six throws, giving them ample opportunity to showcase their ring-tossing skills!

    3. The aim of the game is to throw the rubber thong as far as possible.

    The aim of the game is to throw the rubber thong as far as possible. Think of it like a long-distance discus throw, but with a decidedly more beachy vibe! The competitor who launches their thong the farthest distance claims victory and ultimate bragging rights.
