Minute to win-it

During the holidays, we played a fun game called "Minute to win-it."   It's from the game-show on NBC. I had never seen it, but heard the name quite often and decided to take a peak.

If you haven't played this, DO IT. It's a great date game, family game, and even for a kids' birthday party.

You can go here to find a HUGE list of games, and even some video demonstrations.

We were having so much fun, I didn't take too many pictures.

A Hillarious one is "bobblehead"

You attach a pedometer to two oposing contestant's heads. We just clipped them on to one of the girls stretch head bands. Then they have to shake their head as fast and hard as they can to get the most counters. 

This is the "Holiday Hustle"

Contestants on the same team attach yard-sticks to their waste. They have one minute to unravel ribbon from one stick to the next, without using their hands. (Ahem! Michael!)

Another really funny one was

Jingle in the Trunk

You attach an empty tissue box with about 20 Jingle bells to two oposing contestants, on their backsides. Then they have to wiggle their "trunk" to get the bells out. The first to complete the task in under 1 minute, wins!

Hanky Panky

You would want to play this before the above game. two contestants compete to see who can empty a tissue box first by removing each individual tissue sheets with one hand.

I forget what this one was called, but you had to stack the cups in a pyramid and then take down so only a single stack of cups remain. I can't remember if it was only one handed or two. 

our favorite was "Face the Gingerbread man" or in our case, 

the Vanilla wafer.

Contestants must stay sitting. A cookie is placed on the forehead. Using only facial muscles (no hands) the contestant must move the cookie down to his mouth and eat it. 

It's a LOT harder than it sounds. Trust me.

And just because my face doesn't grace this blog enough, here are some more for your viewing pleasure.

 An up-the-nose shot!

 This is one reason why I don't drink....

We played several others, but this post is getting long. I'm trying not to get burned out with blogging again, and to post more. So, that's it for now. GO PLAY it! It's soo fun. Just designate someone to be a photographer because it's a memory-maker for sure!
