plastic wrap relay

Filed under group games
MATERIALS NEEDED:
Small rolls of plastic wrap.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Choose contestants to make teams of two. One person is the “wrapper” and the other is the “wrappie.” If you can, maybe choose teams out of each grade represented in the room – this will create some hype in the room and the kids will cheer for their represented grade.
- Each team will race to wrap their respective “wrappie” in plastic wrap. You should set a time limit – like three minutes or five minutes. Also, buy a small enough roll of plastic wrap so that they can reasonably finish the task in the given time period. (I made the mistake of buy LOOOONG rolls of plastic wrap and it took the kids forever to wrap each other! It was great though!!! Hilarious).
- If your time ends and no one has finished wrapping their “wrappie,” then you can either have them stop and see whoever is closest to the end of the roll (you can put each teams roll side by side to see whose is the smallest) or you can let the game go on a few more minutes if the crowd is still into it (they may be cheering for their friends, classmates, etc.).
- Whatever team finishes their roll first or whoever has the smallest roll at the end of the time wins a prize.
