Minute to Win It...

This past week a good friend of mine celebrated a birthday and I decided to throw her a Minute to Win It party. I watched the game show a couple of times, got online and watched the tutorials, and shopped for all the items. I was a bit nervous to see if it would all go as planned and I must say it went better than planned!
Here are a few of the games we played:
Worm Diving
Photobucket
You must get a pretzel out of a bowl using a sticky gummy worm attached to the end of a fishing pole.
Sticky Situation
Photobucket
Player must bounce a ping pong ball onto a piece of peanut butter covered bread.
Chocloate Unicorn
Photobucket
Stack 4 ding dongs on your forehead while standing and leaning back.
Wheel of a Deal
Photobucket
Player separates 20 cards (A, K, Q, J, & 10s) into 5 groups of identical cards on a different podium, 1 at a time.
Defying Gravity
Photobucket
Tap 3 balloons to keep them off the ground for 1 minute.
Caddy Stack
Photobucket
Stack 3 balls 1 atop the other in 1 minute. (THIS ONE WAS IMPOSSIBLE, although I've seen it done on the show)
Stack Attack
Photobucket
You must stack 36 plastic cups into a perfect triangle. Once complete you must get the cups back into a single stack.
Go the Distance
Photobucket
Transport a ping pong ball across an extended tape measure so it makes it into a shot glass.
Breakfast Scramble
Photobucket
Must assemble 16 even pieces of the front of a cereal box back together.
Separation Anxiety
Photobucket
Player must separate a pile of 50 M&Ms into 5 separate containers in a color order.
On the Nose
Photobucket
You must transfer 5 cotton balls (1 at a time) from 1 serving bowl to another using only petroleum jelly on your nose.
Stick the Landing
Photobucket
Player must toss a water bottle (we filled it 1/4 of the way) onto the table and get it to land upright.
Obviously I cannot afford to give away $1 million dollars, so I found trophies to hand out to the winner. We had 2 teams tie for first, so one member from each team took home a trophy.
Photobucket
All in all it took about 3 hours (we had 10 teams and 1 person from each team had to do each task) but we laughed and had such a fun time. It was a neat way to celebrate a birthday.

I really wanted to stay and watch the games but we had to leave. But now I have lots of ideas for my own party. Thanks for letting us come.
