In less than one minute,

jingle bell hose minute to win it game

Here’s what we discovered about the game…

  • It’s really challenging to do it exactly as the rules state – perfect for adults, but it got a little frustrating for the younger kids when it came time to pull the hose off

How we modified it to make it a little more kid friendly…

  • I helped them by putting the end of the pantyhose on their arms, so they were ready to go when the timer went
  • Then…they had to use their fingers to do the work of inching down to the bottom of the panty hose – no cheating there – It’s totally possible for them to do
  • The really hard part was pulling the hose off without the help of your arms, so they got to use their arms to pull the pantyhose off
  • The adults and older kids can do it without the help of their other arm. They will look hilarious trying!

Here are the rules for the true game without modifications…

  • players should reach in with both hands – 1 in each leg –  and try to remove the jingle bells in under 1 minute
  • *players are not allowed to use one hand to help the other. Each hand and arm has to work on it’s own, wiggling down to the end of the hose

choosing cups minute to win it christmas game

Choosing Cups

(1 player per team)

Here’s what you’ll need for this Christmas game to play…

  • 25 cups
  • 5 stickers
  • water or beverage of choice

Setting up…

  • place stickers on the bottom of 5 out of the 25 cups and set them down on the table
  • pour a small amount of liquid into the plastic cups – just a smidgen

Playing…

Here’s what we discovered about this game…

  • If the kids or adults don’t find the sticker cups quickly, then they will want to hurl. Forcing even a smidgen of your favorite drink down from several cups in under 1 minute makes anyone want to gag! Kind of funny, but kind of gross if they actually get sick.
  • If you play it with liquid in the cup, only put a little bit and hopefully they will find the five cups with stickers right away.

How you can modify this game…

  • Don’t put any liquid in the cup
  • The kids will still have to pick the cup up – 1 at a time – you have to be clear on that (trust me, they will try to double up) and find the 5 cups with stickers at the bottom

Here are the rules to the game without any changes…In under 1 minute,

  • players should drink the beverage out of the cups and then look on the bottom to see if it has a sticker
  • when they find one with a sticker, they should set it aside
  • as soon as they find the 5 cups with stickers on the bottom they are done

  • *alternative to drinking the beverage, they can just lift them up to look on the bottom
