Ring Toss - A Goal Setting Game

This goal setting game is based on the very familiar game of ring toss. It is designed to be used with a group. The great thing about this game is that you can use if for adults as well as children. For trainers, this is a fun break in a class. For children it's a good scout or group activity.

What you need. The material list for this goal setting game are minimal. You need a ring toss game -- or at the very least a pole and some rings (each player gets 3 rings), a tape measure or yard stick, and chalk or something to mark lines with, paper and a writing instrument.

The objective of this goal setting game is to determine what kind of risk taker you are. Set up the game by making 3 lines in front of the pole; the first line will be 2 feet away, the second line 4 feet and the third line 6 feet. Each participant gets three rings. There will be a total of three rounds. The player must choose which line they will throw from. You can only choose 1 line per round. Each player gets three attempts per round. There is no scoring in this game.

Have each player decide where they are going to throw from in this goal setting game. They can change lines after each round but not during a round. On a sheet of paper make a note on what line the player chose to throw from. What you will see is willingness to take risks. More timid individuals will start at the 2 ft line, some will stay there and some will advance through the lines. The risk takers will start at the 6 ft line and either stay there or jump back and forth between the 4 ft and 6 ft line depending on their success. Moderate risk takers will start at the 4 ft line and then will adjust through all three lines depending on their ability to hit the pole.

After everyone has gone through the three rounds, this goal setting game is over. Tally the results to see who is a risk taker and who prefers limited or moderate risk. This can help you with how to set your goals. You should gear your goals toward the amount of risk you are comfortable with taking.
