Minute to win it!

So as you may recall, we took a family trip to Radium to celebrate my Dad's 60th Birthday earlier in August! Our main goal for the trip was family time and relaxation! But I thought it would be fun to plan a 'Minute to Win It' game night!  I did some research on Pinterest and the actual 'Minute to Win It' website, and I think I came up with some pretty awesome games!!

I planned 9 games for us all to compete in and of course I had to make an official scoreboard!


Game #1
M & M Race
*The object of this game was to see how many M & M's you could move from one plate to the other, using a straw!*

Winner: Cody! 


Game #2
Elephant March
*The object of this game was to knock 12 water bottles down using your 'trunk' (a tennis ball inside a nylon, stuck on your head!) This by far was the FUNNIEST game to watch and take part in!! We were all crying we were laughing so hard!! And people walking by our cabin thought we were INSANE!! Ha!!

Winner: Kellen & Cody!


Game #3
Cookie Face
*The object of this game was to get a cookie placed on your forehead, into your mouth! BUT without using your hands! This was VERY hard!! And again ALOT of laughter!! I was actually the only one to get this one!!

Winner: Kelsey! 

Game #4
This Blows
*The object of this game was to blow up a balloon and then use the air in the balloon to blow off as many cups as you could off the end of the table!

Winner: Damian and Dad!

Game #5
Junk in the Trunk
*The object of this game is to remove 12 foam balls from inside a Kleenex box shaking your trunk! This was another funny one to watch!!

Winner: All of us completed this task! 

 Game #6
A bit dicey
*The object of this game was to stack as many dice as you can on the end of a tongue depressor. This was another TOUGH one!! 

Winner: Kellen!
  
Game #7
Don't blow the Joker
*The object of this game was to blow all of the cards off the top of a cup, except for the last card, which was the turned up Joker! 

Winner: Dad, Kelsey, Kellen, Cody, Brit

Game #8
Dental Cap
*The object of this game was to remove a toothbrush from the holder, on the brim of a visor, and then place the toothbrush back into a cup at the other end of the table. This was definitely more difficult for the taller folks!!

Winner: Kellen, Cody, Kelsey, Brit, Mom

Game #9
Ping Pong Bounce
*The object of this game was to bounce as many ping pong balls into the cups as possible! The boys had a SIGNIFICANT advantage in this game because of their practice from years of playing beer pong!!

Winners: Cody

And the winner is....
CODY!!

Our 'Minute to Win it' night was a great success and we all had ALOT of fun!! I definitely would do a night like this again!! It was VERY entertaining!!!!

  1. Hi! I love this idea! Could you tell me how you went about keeping score? I'd like to do something similar for a work event.
    Thanks!

    1. Hi Audrey! Thanks for stopping by. The way we did the points was a little confusing! We did a ranking system dependant on the number of people who was playing. If it was a simple task or completion or not they would get either 7 points for competing the task or 0 for not completing. But if it was a game that including getting a certain number of items ( 31 m&ms or 6 ping pong balls) then we ranked the points from 0-7 on how well they did. So the person who got the most m&ms got 7 points and the person we got the least got 0 points for that game. I hope that makes sense!! Have fun!!
