Minute To Win It #3

Minute to Win it Game ~ Floatacious

Our kids love playing Minute To Win It games.  Tonight we decided to take the kids cup stacking skills to a new level.  Stacking cups can be difficult, but with the added twist of floating them on water upped the challenge.  Floatacious is our new favorite minute to win it game.

I love how cute she looks reaching for the top.

Floatacious Supplies:

  • A plastic plate
  • 5 empty soda cans ~ with the tabs removed
  • A large bowl filled with water right to the top.

Place the plate to the right of bowl, and place the cans to the left of bowl.  When clock starts, the player places plate on water’s surface in the bowl and begins stacking the cans.  To complete game, all 5 soda cans must be stacked on top of plate and remain standing for 3 seconds.  Simple, cheap and fun!  Love it!

Bree was so nervous the stack was going to tumble over before her 3 seconds were up.  (the can tower needs to stay stacked for 3 seconds once you have completed it)

Someone might be a bit over confident:)  Kaleb completed the challenge one handed, eating a dilly bar and under 45 seconds.  Way to go Kaleb!

    Awesome games! Also, where did you get your coffee bags for the frames in the background? I have ordered a few, but they do not look like those. Love them!
