Minute to win it!
- Penny stacking
- Don't touch the ground!
- Cookie on your forehead
One handed penny stacking – Each person is given 25 pennies which they need to stack with one hand.
Materials needed: 25 pennies per team
Don’t Touch the Ground - Each player receives four balloons. The winner must use agility and coordination to keep all the balloons in the air for a minute.
Materials needed: Four balloons per team
Oreo on your Forehead – The first person of each team tips their head back and balances an Oreo on their forehead. Your goal is to get as many Oreos in your mouth without using your hands as possible in one minute. If it falls on the floor, start with another Oreo. When time is called, the next player on your team tries the same challenge. Continue until you get through all five players (one minute per player). Players score a point for each Oreo they get into their mouth.
Materials needed: A chair for the player, a bowl of Oreos (or cheap version) for each team.
