Backyard games Minute to Win it Games pt 2

On the 4th of July we had a blast playing minute to win it games..this is fun for the youngest to the oldest in the family.

The first game we played was Booger relay. Items needed: cotton balls, vaseline and paper plates.

Here my daughters are displaying their noses covered in vaseline hahah

You simply mash your face into a paper plate full of cotton balls to get as many to stick to your nose as possible.

With the cotton balls attached you run from one side of the yard to the other and where there is another empty paper plate.

You wiggle as much as you can without using your hands to get the cotton balls to fall onto the empty plate. Whoever has the most cotton balls at the end of one minute wins!

Adding vaseline to the kids noses

Even grandpa got into the action 🙂

Another game we played which I will call noodle head is hsyterical. Items needed: Shower cap, shaving cream and cheese puffs.Place the shower cap on each persons head and cover them with shaving cream

The other players take turns throwing the cheese puffs and try to get as many as they can to stick to their head. The person with the most cheese puffs stuck wins!!

Of course this can turn into a shaving cream fight involving everyone haha

No one was safe!!

This game I will call water bottle pantyhose bowling. Items needed Panty hose, Tennis balls and water bottles

Line up the water bottles in rows and each person stands at the end of the line with a pair of panty hose on their head and two tennis balls placed in the ends of each leg.

The person must shake their heads back and forth and strive to knock over each bottle of water in his or her line. The person who does it the fastest wins.

We were being all “gangsta”

Even the men were trying to be “gangsta” hahaha

We also played ping pong bucket catch. Items needed ping pongs and plastic bucket.

My mom punched holes in ice cream buckets and strung some tulle through the holes and we tied it on to each persons head. It slipped off a lot…we were thinking we should have used old hats and glued the buckets onto the hats or something like that to hold it on better.

My daughter looks like she is getting ready for a wedding or something.

You bounce the balls off the wall of the house and try to catch the balls in the buckets. The person with the most balls in their buckets wins. It is hysterical!

Let us know what other Minute to Win it games you have played with your family!

We really had so much fun!!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

Next Watermelon cake for my Birthday! »
