1. Dice Balance
The kids over at Paging Fun Mums try to see how many dice they can get on the stick in one minute (the most dice wins!). It's a little tricky and super fun to watch!

Here's What You Need:

• Pack of Dice
• Popsicle Sticks

2. On the Nose – Put a dab of vaseline or petroleum jelly on the player's nose. This is their only tool to move cotton balls from one plate to the next. They'll pick up a cotton ball with their nose and move it to another plate without using their hands. Idea from Sophie's Hope.

3. Empty Soda Tower – You'll need a bin of empty, cleaned (and dry) soda cans (I recommend least 20 per team.) The kids can work alone or in pairs of two to stack cans with paper plates in between to see how high they can make their tower. The highest tower in one minute without falling, wins!

Here's What You Need:

• Empty Soda/Sparkling Water Cans
• Paper Plates

4. M&M Color Matchmaking – Give each player a pile of assorted M&Ms and matching colored cups. (For example, if you give them blue, green, red and orange M&Ms, you must have the same colored cups to play.) Then, in one minute, see who can match the most M&Ms into the correct matching colored cups. The person with all their M&Ms or the smallest pile at the end of one minute, wins.

Here's What You Need:

• Big Bag of M&MS
• Assorted Colored Cups

5. Cup Stack and Unstack – This activity may feel simple when you first explain it, but under the pressure of only having one minute to complete the task, it becomes a challenge! Give each child one minute and a stack of 36 plastic cups to stack all the cups in a pyramid without falling, and then successfully unstack them back to their originally nestled cup form. Idea from Teach Mama.

Here's What You Need:

• Disposable Plastic Cups

6. Post It Note Face Challenge – Something tells me this looks a lot easier than it is! In one minute, see how many post-it notes you can make stick to your face (without falling off, or laughing too hard!) See a list of World Record Date ideas on Dating Divas.

Here's What You Need:

• Post It Notes

7. Penny Tower – How many pennies can each child stack in one minute? This may seem simple, except the trick to this game is that each child may only use one hand to stack the coins. Have them hold their other hand behind their back so they aren't tempted to use both hands. This new way of stacking pennies makes the game oh-so-challenging!

Here's What You Need:

• A lot of Pennies!

8. Defy Gravity Balloons in the Air – With one hand behind the child's back, they need to do their best to keep two blown balloons in the air for 60 seconds. You can adjust the difficultly be adding a balloon or two, or taking away a balloon for young children. From Happy Mom Hacks.

10. Ping Pong Ball Transfer – One player at a time with one minute on the clock, has to move 6 ping pong balls from one plate to the other using a plastic spoon held in their mouth. You can adjust the number of ping pong balls you use based on how players are doing. The goal is to see who can move the most ping pong balls to the other plate in one minute. From Happy Mom Hacks.
