We have used the thongs on Australia Day. We went to Red Dot and bought the ones with the Aussie flag. Then we used the thongs for tossing into a bucket. Then to see who could throw the thong the furthest. We also replaced the beanbags with the thongs to play beanbag toss. All Good games for Australia day
Another excellent variation is to tie two balloons together. When the resident hits the balloon because there are two attached they fly off in all directions and spin. I have found this always brings a laugh to the residents.
