Party challenge wheel

Set up before the party

Fill a challenge box: 20 plastic cups, 5 balloons, a pair of mittens, wrapped candies, straws, dry spaghetti and ring cereal, a ping pong ball, a roll of toilet paper, a deck of cards, scrap paper and a bucket. That covers almost every slice.

Delete any challenge you do not have supplies for, so the wheel never lands on something you cannot play.

Team tournament rules

1. Split the group into teams of 3–5.
2. Teams take turns spinning. The team picks one player for that challenge, and nobody goes twice until everyone on the team has played.
3. Complete it in the time on the slice, or 60 seconds if it does not say: 2 points. A near miss the room agrees on: 1 point.
4. After 10 spins, the team with the most points chooses the music, the first cake slice or the next game.

Notes on a few challenges

• Cookie face: put a cookie on your forehead and move it to your mouth using only your face. Use a soft cookie for little kids.
• Mummy wrap: the team wraps one volunteer in toilet paper in 60 seconds. Leave the face clear.
• Move 5 candies with a straw: suck through the straw to lift wrapped candies from one plate to another.
• Pass a balloon, no hands: the team passes a balloon down the line using elbows and knees. Drop it and start again.
