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.
4. Have prizes for the longest throw and a prize for second place.
Get ready to crown the “Thong-throwing Champion” and celebrate the runner-up with exciting prizes for the Thong Throwing activity. Awarding prizes injects a fun dose of competition and encourages friendly rivalry among participants.
5. Practice makes perfect!
You could have practice days leading up to Australia Day so contestants can practice their skills at throwing the thongs.
