Amp Up Family Game Night

Set the board games and card decks aside, and hit the pause on that puzzle. Here are some Minute To Win It game ideas that are guaranteed fun. Players have one minute to complete each task:

1. Cookie Face:

Place a cookie on each player’s forehead. See who can move the cookie to their mouth the quickest without using their hands. Be sure to tilt your head and scrunch up your face to make the cookie move down to your mouth. Be careful! If the cookie drops to the floor, you have to start over.

2. Sugar Rush:

Grab some oven mitts and pre-packaged candy. Have players put on the oven mitts, and see who can unwrap the most pieces in one minute.

3. Knock ‘Em Down:

Put a tennis ball in the toe of a pair of pantyhose, then pull the waist over the player’s head. Line up water bottles in a long row. The player must walk down the line swinging their head attempting to knock over as many bottles as possible with the tennis ball. Don’t have pantyhose? Grab your favorite VSF leggings and tie them in a knot at the bottom.

4. Nose Dive:

Put a small dab of petroleum jelly on the players’ nose. Start with 2 bowls with 1 filled with 5 cotton balls. Transfer them one at a time with your nose, no hands allowed! See who can get the most moved over in one minute.
