THE FLOUR GAME – My kids love the flour game. You take a cup, fill it with flour (pack it in tight), then turn it over onto a plate and carefully lift the cup. You will have an upside-down, flour-shaped cup on the plate. Set a small candy carefully on top of the flour cup. Take turns using a butter knife to cut off some of the flour structure and try not to knock off the candy. The person who knocks off the candy has to retrieve it using only their mouth! Have the camera ready, ’cause it’s lots of laughs! Supplies: Cup, plate, flour, candy.
THE CEREAL BOX GAME – See if you can pick up the cereal box in this funny game of flexibility. Supplies: A cereal box (we’ve also played this with a big brown paper bag) and scissors.
HOT CAMERA GAME OR SELFIE HOT POTATO ---- – Even the name sounds fun! Similar to hot potato, except you are passing around a camera pointed at your face that has a timer set. If it “flashes” while you are holding it, not only do you get a funny selfie taken, but you also have to do a silly “challenge” or “punishment” determined by the others. Supplies: Camera with a timer.
Race to see who can stick the most sticky notes on their face in 1 minute. Supplies: sticky notes.
COTTON BALLS GLITZ–—– Players have to coat their noses with lotion and then see how many cotton balls they can get out of the bowl in a minute only using their nose. Hilarious! Supplies: bowls, cotton balls, lotion.
BUBBLE GAME RACE—— – This would be a great party game. You get to eat your way through whipped cream to find the gum! Then show your bubble gum blowing skills! No hands allowed. Supplies: Plates, gum, canned whipped cream.
MOUSETRAP! ——– Each player will need a pile of beans and a mouse. The “mice” are a spool tied to 18 – 24″ of string/yarn. All of the players put their “mice” in a little circle that could be covered by the “trap” – in other words, a pot lid. The trapper rolls 2 dice and when they get doubles, they slam the lid down and try to catch the mice. If they catch none, they owe the other players one of their beans. If a mouse gets caught, they will give the trapper one of their beans. Supplies: Spools of thread or any thing you can tie yarn to, yarn/string, a pot lid, some type of currency: we use dried beans.
HALT!—— – Roll up a dishtowel and tape it together. Have players stand in a circle around it. One leader calls out another player’s name. That player runs to the towel while everyone else scatters. Once the player has the towel, they yell “halt!” They have 3 chances to throw the towel in hopes of hitting another player. Outside players can run and move after the towel hits the ground. If no one gets hit, the person with the towel is out. They get to choose the next thrower. Supplies: Dishtowel and tape or a soft ball.

GUESS WHAT'S IN THE Bag – Put a bunch of differently shaped kitchen items in a large bag and then guess what that item is by sticking your hand in and feeling the objects. No peeking of course. This game could be great for object lessons. Supplies: A few randomly shaped items from the kitchen. Examples are: a big spoon, a whisk, etc.
LIARS DICE – Play liars dice just like Captain Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones! Supplies: 5 dice and 1 cup per player.
CRAZY FACE – We used to play this at camp – it’s hilarious! You divide into teams. One person on each team covers their face in shaving cream. Then, when you say “go,” everyone else starts throwing cheese balls at their face to try to get them to stick. At the end of 1 minute you see who has the most cheese balls stuck to their face – and that team wins. Sounds like a blast, right? Supplies: Shaving cream, cheese balls, and tape.
