Soda Can Roll Challenge
A fun family game for kids, teens and adults to play. A great indoor game for holiday parties
Materials
- tape something that is safe for your surface
- long flat surface
- prizes
- full soda can which can not opened we used a long can like Peace Tea
Instructions
Setting Up
- You'll want to place strips of tape about 4 inches apart from each other in rows at one end of the table
- Place prizes inside the rows of tape - if it's paper money, then you can place it in the center. If your prizes are bulkier, then set them off to the side but still within the row that will win that prize See notes below for prize ideas
Playing the Game - Classic Edition
- Players should go to the opposite end of the table that prizes are on and place the soda can down on its' side
- They can then roll the can down the table so that it hopefully lands on the row matching the prize they are aiming for
- Once they've had their turn or the number of turns you have allotted them, then it is time for someone else to have a turn at the prize
- If the can rolls off of the table then their turn is over
Playing the Game - Extended Edition
- Let everyone have 3 turns at the prizes. This can be one turn at a time or 3 turns at once
- They can not pick up the prize they won, just yet
- Once everyone has had 3 chances to roll, then any ties for a prize will have to have a roll-off
- If there aren't any ties for prizes, then the player that rolled to that prize wins
Roll-Off for Prizes
- Roll off Version One - Players roll until one of them lands on the prize in question. This can go on for a long time and get a little tedious or if you get lucky, a player gets lucky and rolls that prize again, immediately
- Roll off Version Two - the player that has the longest roll without rolling off of the table wins the prize. This is the fasted method for rolling off for the prize
Notes
Prize Ideas besides Cash!
-
- make a mystery prize - place a prize inside a lunch sack and then fold it up and staple it. This can be a jackpot prize or a bunch of junk. Nobody knows and that is what makes this idea so much fun
-
- add gag prizes like - a whoopie cushion, or a plastic whistle
-
- add holiday-related prizes - scented candles are always a great prize
-
- place a fun food item in one row like a jar of pickles, a container of garlic powder, or a box of sour jellybeans
- scratch off cards
