Minute to Win It


I'm sure you have all seen (or at least heard of) minute to win it. It's a gameshow where the contestants have 60 seconds to complete a certain task. For each level they complete, they earn more money.

My sister Andrea set up the game for our family, and it was so much fun! We played on teams and took turns completing the tasks.
Here are (most of) the things we did...

Throwing a water bottle and making it land standing up

Using your knees to balance a tennis racket and get the ping pong ball to stay put in a certain square

Drop coins into a bucket of water and get them to land in a shot glass inside the bucket

Blow up a balloon and use the air to knock a stack of cups off of the table

Stack oreos on your forehead

Transfer m&ms from one bowl to another by sucking them with a straw

Put an oreo on your forehead and get it to your mouth without using your hands



Empty an entire box of tissues using one hand

Stack dice on a popsicle stick that is in your mouth


Throw balls into a bucket on your head

Sack race

Fling rubber bands to knock over a stack of cups. Sadly, I got this one and I don't know how to fling a rubber band :(

Bounce pencils on the table and have them land in a cup

This one was probably the funniest. They had pedometers strapped to their heads and they had to get the most amount of "steps" in a minute. Tim had a good system going (that was hilarious to watch) and got close to 200, I think. Lexi on the other hand....

Just kinda flailed around like a madwoman and only ended up with 17 :) They both had pretty good headaches after!

Spin around to unroll a roll of toilet paper

(This is back from the sack race, I just don't feel like moving it...)

Bounce ping pong balls on the counter and have them land on a piece of bread with peanut butter

Hold a stick of spaghetti in your mouth and thread noodles on it without using your hands

Loop 3 keys onto a paperclip that is tied to a pen that is in your mouth

Knock over stack of cups with a ball in stockings on your head :)

(Again, not sure how this ended up here, but I don't want to move it)

Run in place and get as many "steps" on a pedometer as possible

Rub vaseline on your nose and use the stickiness to pick up cotton balls and transfer them to a bowl

This was another one of my favorites :)

Shake ping pong balls out of a kleenex box that is strapped around your waist

And finally, stack 3 golf balls on top of each other.

What a fun night this was... thanks again, Andrea!
