Schildkröt 970319 Can Toss Game with 10 Metal Cans and 3 Throwing Bags

Different-coloured smiley faces make the metal cans easy to spot, while numbers on the back give each throw a clear scoring element. The Schildkröt 970319 Can Toss Game turns a simple target challenge into an easy-to-follow activity for parties and playtime.

Set the 10 cans out in a pyramid, then take turns throwing the three red fabric bags to knock them down. Players or teams score from the numbers on the cans they topple, adding a friendly competitive goal that encourages accuracy and hand-eye coordination.

Made for indoor and outdoor play, the set suits birthday parties, garden gatherings and barbecues. The pellet-filled fabric bags offer a softer throwing option than ordinary balls, helping to reduce the risk of injury and damage to indoor surroundings.

Key points

This is a straightforward game to start: arrange the cans, take turns with the bags and count the points on the cans knocked over. The numbered scoring makes each round easy to follow, while the smiley designs give the targets a colourful look for children’s parties. Play individually or in teams, so the game can bring a group together around one shared activity.

The metal cans provide the targets, and the three throwing bags are designed for the tossing part of the game. As a manual game with no assembly required, it can be set up for a round without a complicated preparation process. Its indoor and outdoor suitability also gives hosts flexibility to choose the playing space for the occasion.

For a gathering that needs an active group game rather than a seated activity, can toss offers a simple challenge with a clear objective. The numbered targets add a scoring element, the focus is on taking turns, aiming and seeing which player or team earns the most points.

Practical tips

Arrange all 10 cans in a pyramid before play begins, then have players throw the bags one at a time. Use the numbers on the cans that are knocked over to work out the score, and compare totals to decide the winning player or team. This keeps the rules easy to explain to a group and helps each turn feel purposeful.

For indoor rounds, the fabric bags provide a softer alternative to throwing balls, while the same setup can be used outdoors for a garden game. Keep the cans together between turns so players have a consistent target to aim at.

Who it’s for

This set is suited to families and groups looking for an easy-to-understand activity for children and young people. It works well at birthday parties, barbecues and other get-togethers where players can take turns and enjoy a little friendly competition. The scoring gives older children and adults a reason to join in too, while the simple aim of knocking down the cans keeps the game accessible to newcomers.

It can also suit anyone organising a party who wants an activity that does not depend on batteries or assembly. Choose an indoor or outdoor playing space, set out the cans and let players compete for the highest score.

Is it worth it?

It makes sense if you want one compact, clearly structured activity that can move between indoor and outdoor gatherings. The combination of 10 numbered metal targets and three pellet-filled fabric bags gives players everything needed for the central tossing challenge, with a scoring system that encourages aiming rather than simply throwing. For children’s parties and family get-togethers, it offers an engaging way to bring players together for repeat rounds of turn-taking and friendly competition.
