Valentine Minute to Win It Party!

Today we had our Valentine's Day party.  We had Minute to Win It centres.  We had six different stations: love spot, cookie face, marshmallow toss, heart stack, mummy wrap, and heart pick up.  Here is the link where the inspiration came from.

HEART PICK UP Using two pencils as chopsticks, each player tries to transfer as manyValentine heart candies from one plate to another. The player with the most candies on her plate after one minute wins!

Thanks Susan for demonstrating how to do cookie face!  

COOKIE FACE This is a popular game played at most minute to win it parties! Everyone gets a cookie and places it on their forehead. They have one minute to try and get their cookie from their forehead to their mouths without using their hands!

MARSHMALLOW TOSS We played this game with six players at a time. Place a cup for each player on a table. Have the players take 4 steps back and hand them a handful of marshmallows. Tossing the marshmallows into the cups one at a time, the player with the most marshmallows in his cup at the end of 60 seconds wins! It's not as easy as it sounds!! This game would also be fun to do with a partner, throwing the marshmallows into their mouths!

I think this was one my favourite pictures from the party.  I love James' face!  He isn't having any fun!

PINK MUMMY  This game is played like the game Dizzy Mummy. With a partner, you have 60 seconds to wrap the other person up in pink Valentine Crete paper. The only rule is that the "mummy" can't move. Since we were doing this in a classroom, I figured that would keep the injuries to a minimum. :) 

These three were hilarious with cookie face.  They were laughing so much the cookie just kept falling off their face.

LOVE SPOT This is FUN game played using a pom pom (love spot) and Vaseline. Have each player dab a bit of Vaseline on the end of his nose and hand them a pom pom ball. The first player to make the pom pom stick to their nose is the winner. I thought this one would take at least a minute... within 10 seconds, 5 of the students in the classroom had their pom pom stuck to their noses. It was tons of fun!

Arnold really enjoyed staying near the cookie and marshmallow table.

HEART STACK You have 60 seconds and a pile of Valentine conversation candy hearts. Stack the candy as tall as you can without it falling over. If it falls over, you start again. At the end of one minute, the tallest tower of hearts wins!

How cute is Samantha? She could fit a lot of pom poms on her nose!
