What to Do with that Halloween Candy You Don't Want?

Halloween is just over a month away now. Everyone knows that as kids you received candies you loved when you were trick or treating. You also know for a fact you received a lot you hated. Those were the pieces of candy that you had sitting in the bottom of your trick-or-treating bag for months after Halloween, long after all the others had been eaten. If you were lucky you might have had a sibling or a fried that liked the candy you didn't and would trade you candy they didn't like and you did. For many though, they weren't that luck. Kids these days have that some situation to deal with. Here is an idea of what to do with those pieces of candy, play a game.

The game itself is rather simple. It is based on the concept of the game of horseshoes, or maybe more accurately bocce ball. Have a group of your friends get together and bring all their candy they don't want with them. Put all this candy in a big bag mixed together. You will then put a stake in the ground. Next use string, cable, or rope to make two circles around the stake. Have the closest one with a diameter of about 5 feet, and the second with a diameter of ten feet. To start the game put about one third of the candy on the playing area outside the two circles.

On your turn, reach into the bag of candy without looking. You will then toss that piece of candy towards the stake. If you land your piece of candy within the inner circle you are then entitled to take any two pieces of candy from the playing area. One could be the one you throught but it doesn't have to be, and when picking up candy it doesn't matter if they are within the circles or outside of them. If you land your candy in the second circle, you can pick up one piece of candy of your choosing.
