Bring the carnival home! This classic game is perfect for small-space areas like a patio. 1. First, fill two empty bottles with colored sand, available at most crafts stores. Next, tie a ring with string long enough to reach the ground. Attach the other end of the string to a wooden dowel. 2. Lay out Hula-Hoops and place a bottle on its side in the center of each one. 3. The game is over when someone can stand the bottle up.
