How To Play Ring on a string. Stand back directly in front of the hook with the ring and string fully extended. Swing the ring gently. It is not necessary to swing it hard. Matter-of-fact, by doing it gently you will soon develop a smooth rhythm to your swing. Once you loop the ring on the hook for the first time, you will find it easier from then on. Each person gets five tries with each turn. The first one to get five ringers wins the round. (ringers do not have to be consecutive). The best 2 out of 3 rounds is a match. HELPFUL HINT: The ring will go on the hook much easier if you will swing it slightly to the left or to the right. This will cause the ring to loop itself onto the hook.
