Trim a tree games

This is one of those carnival games that looks like it would be simple for everyone to win, each tree gets harder to hoop. You can give a prize that coordinates to each Tree that is "hooped" or you can give prizes based on the number of Trees "hooped".

With this prize method, you will need 4 buckets or containers to place 1 prize that coordinates with each tree hooped. Of course, you will be passing out lots of prizes, so make sure the first two buckets that coordinate with the closest trees should have inexpensive prizes like a small piece of candy or cheap toy. Tree number 3 can have a medium prize and the fourth tree will have the top prize, possibly a small stuffed animal as we have found in every case, the stuffed animals prizes are a favorite!
