Easy Minute To Win It Games For Kids
These are the best win it to minute games for kids! Although they are easy enough for kids, they are still fun for adults too!
Cookie Face
This game is harder than it sounds, which makes it a total classic minute to win it game. Kids love it because it’s hilarious to both play and watch, and you get to eat a cookie in the process of playing. It really doesn’t get any better than that, right?
To play, simply have a player sit in a chair and lean their head back. Now place a cookie on a player’s forehead, and start a timer or stopwatch if you wish. The goal is to move the cookie from your forehead down into your mouth using only your facial muscles, all in under 1 minute. No hands!

Keep It Up
Have an individual or a team keep a balloon afloat for one minute by only using their heads, toes, etc. or whatever rule you make up. When the balloon touches the ground, they’re out of the game. The last person or team with a balloon afloat wins. This game is also called Defying Gravity – you call it whatever you want!

Bobble Head
Attach a pedometer onto the head of each player and have them move their head back and forth quickly to achieve as many “steps” as possible before the timer runs out. Talk about ridiculous fun – I felt a little dizzy after trying this one but the kids couldn’t get enough of it.

Wall Bounce
Players bounce a ping pong ball off the wall and into a bucket. Whoever has the most balls in the bucket at the end wins. It’s a simple concept, but it takes a little finesse to be good at it. Watch your kids slam the ping pong balls at first thinking that’s the way to get it done – so funny!

Bottle to Bottle
In this game, one 2-liter bottle is filled with small cereal or candy pieces like jelly beans. Then another bottle is taped to the top, and players must shake the pieces from one bottle into another, like a crazy hourglass.
Iron Man
In this game, players stack iron nuts or other small objects on top of each other using only a pair of chopsticks.

Here’s another plastic cups minute to win it game. Set out a large number of cups (20 to 25 cups) and put a sticker on the bottom of one. Now fill them all partly full of water – the fuller the cups, the harder this game is! A player must lift one cup at a time to find the sticker.
Countdown!
