Could you balance 6 dice on a popsicle stick held in your mouth for 1 minute? How about getting all the tissues out of a tissue box with one hand?
Do you watch NBC’s Minute To Win It every week and wish you could try these crazy challenges? If so, it might be time to throw a Minute To Win It party!
How to Host a Minute to Win It Party
- This party is great for tweens, teens, girls night out, or adult couples.
- Invitations: Purchase inexpensive timers and attach the party details to the timer. The stopwatch also makes a great party favor!
- Choose your challenges based on the age of the guests and the supplies you have on hand…this will keep you budget friendly!
- All challenges are done by teams of 2, so when guests arrive, ask them to look in a hat to find out which team they are on. Add to the fun by coming up with fun team names!
- Keep it simple, no complicated rules, after all… we’re playing for prizes, not a million dollars!
- Each team that completes the challenge in 1 minute or less will receive 1 point.
- All teams will start the challenge at the same time. Make sure you have plenty of family members to help keep track of the time and monitor that the challenges are done correctly. There are some challenges that will be easier to do 1 team at a time like Foul Shot.
- Shop for a variety of prizes and the team with the most points will get first choice! Second place gets second choice, third place gets third choice, and so on.
