Ring toss
Ring toss is a game where rings are tossed around a peg.[1] It is common at carnivals.[2] A variant, sometimes referred to as "ring-a-bottle", replaces pegs with bottles, where the thrower may keep the bottle (and its contents) if successful.[3]
Ring toss is also a game for toddlers and children that can assist in the development of motor skills and hand-eye coordination development.[4][5]

At a carnival, the ring toss involves a very small ring being tossed onto a very small peg, which reduces the opportunity for success — even for adults!
