We had a back to school bash for our elementary kids at church, during which we played some Minute to Win it games. When the kids arrived, we put their name in a bucket. The games were in a separate bucket. When it was time for the games, we drew a name and a game and let the fun begin! Below are the games we played. Supplies needed are in parenthesis. Click on the link for directions.
Office Tennis (clipboard, wad of paper, trash can)
Play it by Ear (5 non-see through containers, pennies)
Bouncer (waste basket, ping pong balls)
Breakfast Scramble (cereal box front, cut into squares)
Egg Run (spoon, hard boiled egg)
Ring Pan Ping Pong Toss (bundt cake pan, ping pong balls, table)
Hanky Panky (box of tissues)
Rapid Fire (empty pop cans, rubber bands, table)
Wheel of a Deal (cards, six tables/chairs)
Bite Me (lunch bags, cut at varying heights)
Stack Attack (plastic cups, 36 total)
Paper Dragon (two rolls of crepe paper)
Tilt a Cup (six plastic cups, gym balls or beach balls)
Feather, Feather (feather)
Roll with It (2 rolls of toilet paper, broom handle to place rolls on)
Blind Ball (paper towel tubes, ping pong balls, table)
If you have more than 15 kids, just repeat the games until everyone has had a turn!

Lindsey,
We are planning a Minute-to-Win Games night for our Awana clubs early next year. Can I just say that you site has been a God send (and I mean that literally) in terms of preparation. Thanks for all the work you have put into it! I’m still early in the planning phases, but articles like these and all the other Minute to Win It posts you’ve done are SOOOOO helpful!
Thanks again,
Wayne
