DO Try This At Home

We have had so much fun recreating the challenges on a new TV show called "Minute To Win It". You are given seemingly simple tasks to complete in 1 minute or less. Sara and I organized this fun Family Home Evening game night. The pictures are a little out of focas because I was laughing so hard I had tears.In this challenge you have 4 paper bags in varying heights lined up at the end of the room and the object is to pick up each bag one by one using only your mouth and transport it to the other side of the room. Then you have to go back and pick them up off the floor by bending over and not letting any other part of your body touch the floor besides your feet. This is a test of your flexibility.

At this station all you have to do is keep 2 feathers up in the air by blowing for 1 minute. Sounds so easy doesn't it. Try it, don't let the feathers touch the ground.



In Blind Ball you have 4 balls propped up around a large circle and while blind folded you have one minute to find and pick up all the balls. If a ball falls to the ground you are out. The challenge is first to find the balls and then keep control by not waving your arms to strongly or you will knock the ball off to the ground.


This was my favorite and brought seriously laughter. You place an Oreo cookie on your fore head and by only using your face muscles you have to shimmy it down into your mouth with out dropping it. I think the harder you laugh helps the cookie move down your face better.
