Age Group: Age 15 on up
Difficultly: A (not much)
Scoring: First team to finishline
Timed Event: No
|
This game can be a relay, but
I, personally, think relays just take too much stinkin' time and leave
kids just standing there bored . . . so I usually do this as an
up-front game for everyone to watch a couple people do.
Tape
two lines on the floor about fifteen feet apart. Have ready two pair of
pantyhose and four golf balls. Put one golf ball in the leg of the
pantyhose and one golf ball on the ground. After wrapping the other leg
of the pantyhose around your waist, the leg with the golf ball should
be hanging down in front of you just barely touching the ground. With
movement from your body alone, you are to hit the golf ball on the
ground with the one hanging from your waist. The object is to move the
golf ball from one line to the next. Pass the pantyhose to the next
person and they must go back. This is repeated until 5-10 people on
each team have completed the task.

Another stupid relay . . . but
some of you might actually like those pathetic things! Several teams
divide in half and stand in two lines on the opposite sides of the room
for this relay game. A person in front of the line shoves six Q-tips in
different orifices of his/her body (sticking out of pockets, between
knees, protruding from armpits . . . ), then shuffles across room to
the person in front of the other line who grabs Q-tips with their
teeth, and drops them on the floor. That person then sticks the Q-tips

card down the line as fast as they can using only their mouths. You
need to suck in wind to keep the card on your lips in order to pass it

great with boys, because if one person drops the card at just the right
point, the two come very close to locking lips. If you want to see a
200 pound ninth grader giggle, this is the game to play. The first
group to pass the card all the way down and back if you wish wins. |

always make your yarn longer than necessary. Tie one end of one piece
of yarn to the end of one spoon. Do this for each team. Put the spoons
(with the yarn attached) in the FREEZER to chill for an hour - the
colder the better. You may want to dip the spoons in water first to add
a little ice build-up. Hand the spoon to the team member and instruct
them to put the spoon down their shirt, through pants legs (or skirts)
and out by their feet. The fact that the spoons are cold will be
apparent very quickly. The first person should also be instructed to
hold the end of the yarn while the rest of the team repeats the
threading process. First team to thread it all the way wins |

3 or 4 ounces. The OBJECT is to see who can hold it in their mouth the

wouldn't advise swallowing it. It won't hurt them but yuck. They must
have at least a couple ounces in order for it to work... though it is
not about how much they can "drink." It's about how long they can hold
