Day 22. Today we will have a minute to win it party. If you have never seen Minute to Win it, you are totally missing out. We often use variations of minute to win it games at church with our kids and they are always a big hit.
There are tons of minute to win it games online (just google Minute to Win It).
These are the ones we are planning on doing...
1. Face the cookie (this is a fav at church)--need cookies for each player. When the clock starts, players may put one cookie on their forehead. The cookie must remain in contact with the face (you may not toss the cookie from your forehead and try to catch it in your mouth. If the cookie falls, the player may reset a cookie on the forehead and try again. To complete the game, the player must get a cookie into his/her mouth in 60 seconds (it is harder than you would think.)
2. Can you stack the cups with one hand in one minute. We will be doing this with 21 green party cups, stacking them in a pyramid shape (6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
3. Christmas Cliffhanger. need a table and Christmas cards. Prior to the game start, stand the cards horizontally along the edge of the table. When the clock starts, contestant may start blowing the first card. Contestants may not touch any card. To complete the game, using only your breath, you must blow a card so that one side of the fold hangs over the edge of the table within the 60 second time limit.
