A pancake toss game, which was popular when Juliette Gordon Lowe was a girl, is a fun, active game for indoors or outside.

While usually played around Shrove Tuesday, pancake toss games can be played to celebrate Juliette Lowe’s birthday on Oct. 31.

What Do You Need For A Pancake Toss?

To play the game, you will need a few basic supplies: pancakes, a frying pan, and a spatula. The pancakes can be made from a pancake mix or from scratch. Make some pancakes, just make sure they are overcooked so they are firm and won’t break. The frying pan should be non-stick and large enough to hold the pancakes. The spatula should be sturdy and have a wide, flat surface for flipping the pancakes.

An alternative way to play would be using paper or plastic plates instead of a frying pan.

How Do You Play The Pancake Toss?

A pancake toss is simple in its nature; it involves flipping and catching pancakes. The goal of the game is to toss a pancake as high as possible in the air and then catch it without dropping it. The game can be played with one or more players, and it can be played inside or outdoors.

To begin the game, the first player flips a pancake into the air using the spatula. The player then tries to catch the pancake without dropping it. If the player catches the pancake, they get a point. If they drop the pancake, they lose a point. The next player then takes a turn and the game continues in this way.

As the game progresses, the players can make the game more challenging by increasing the height of the pancake toss. Players can also add obstacles, such as jumping over a small hurdle or spinning around before catching the pancake. The player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.

For younger girls, make plate sized pancakes and give each girl paper or plastic plates. Using the plates, they flip pancakes back and forth.

Overall, the pancake toss game is a fun and challenging activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It requires skill, hand-eye coordination, and a bit of luck to successfully catch the pancake.
