The 15-Cent Write, Rip, Lace, and Zip Championship
save
See if your group has what it takes to single-handedly complete some seemingly simple tasks. Players: 4 or more
What you'll need
- Timer
- Paper, one 8 1/2- by 11-inch sheet per player
- Pencil
- Shoe with shoelace tied
- 15 pennies
- Ziplock bag
How to play
To get started: Divide the group into teams of 2.
Note: If you have a large group, you can double your materials and let two teams compete simultaneously.To play: Time each team completing the following tasks: Write your names on separate sheets of paper, then rip them into 4 pieces. Untie the shoe, then unlace it, lace it back up, and tie a bow. One by one, put the pennies into the ziplock bag and seal it.
The catch: Each player can use only one hand, and not the hand he writes with. Teams must work together to accomplish each task. The fastest pair wins.
Our testers' twist: Instead of working together, players can tackle the obstacle course on their own, still while using only one hand (and the other elbow, when needed!). The fastest time wins.
