Ring toss is a game where rings are tossed around a peg. It is common at amusement parks. 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.{{cite web | url=http://www.carnivalsavers.com/cola_ringtoss.html | title=Carnival Game and Booth Ideas - Cola Ring Toss }}

Ring toss is also a game for toddlers and children that can assist in the development of motor skills and hand-eye coordination development.[https://books.google.com/books?id=YO5HsP9VjG8C&pg=PA261 Creative Resources for Infants and Toddlers][https://books.google.com/books?id=NZNUBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT38 The Power of Playful Learning: The Green Edition]
