Scoring: which one does not break
Timed Event: No

Porky

 

Place: Youth event Corporate Picnic

Toe Jammin

 

Place: Youth event Corporate Picnic
Items Needed: glass marbles, bucket, jello
Age Group: Age 15 and up
Difficultly: AA
Scoring: Most marble out
Timed Event: Yes

The Marble-pickup consists of a bucket or container with 10 glass marbles inside. Each one person from team gets a bucket. The trick is, that the container is filled with jello, and the team trying to get the marbles out have to use their toes. One with the most out wins

Gargle It

 

Place: Youth event Corporate Picnic
Items Needed: Glass of beverage
Age Group: Age 5 on up
Difficultly: A (not much)
Scoring: count guesses most wins
Timed Event: No

Simple one this. All it requires is a glass of water. Secretly show a team member the name of a well know song or tune, it can be anything, chart song, nursery rhyme etc. Get them to take a large gulp of water and they must gargle the tune and the others in their team try to guess what it is. If the team guesses it you move on to a harder tune keeping score. The first time they miss they are out. This resulted in some hilarious water coming down someone's nose episode when we it!

Suck & Blow

 

Place: Youth event Corporate Picnic
Items Needed: Index Cards
Age Group: Age 15 on up
Difficultly: A (none)
Scoring: first done
Timed Event: Yes

This racy title just happens to describe what you do. Line the kids up, and have them pass an index card down the line as fast as they can using only their mouths. You need to suck in wind to keep the card on your lips in order to pass it (by blowing out) to the next person in line. This game is especially great with boys, because if one person drops the card at just the right point, the two come very close to locking lips. If you want to see a 200 pound ninth grader giggle, this is the game to play. The first group to pass the card all the way down and back if you wish wins.

Greasey Spoon

 

Place: Youth event Corporate Picnic
Items Needed: Spoon & yarn
Age Group: Age 15 on up
Difficultly: A (not much)
Scoring: First team to thread
Timed Event: No

Preparation is everything for this game! At least one hour before you play, cut the yarn into long segments, allowing about 4 feet of yarn per team member. If in doubt, always make your yarn longer than necessary. Tie one end of one piece of yarn to the end of one spoon. Do this for each team. Put the spoons (with the yarn attached) in the FREEZER to chill for an hour - the colder the better. You may want to dip the spoons in water first to add a little ice build-up. Hand the spoon to the team member and instruct them to put the spoon down their shirt, through pants legs (or skirts) and out by their feet. The fact that the spoons are cold will be apparent very quickly. The first person should also be instructed to hold the end of the yarn while the rest of the team repeats the threading process. First team to thread it all the way wins

Special Person

 

Place: Youth event Corporate Picnic
Items Needed: Oreo cookies, plexglass
Age Group: 15 on up
Difficultly: A (none)
Scoring: First to eat them all
Timed Event: Could be

Start with a large sheet of Plexiglas -- about 6 feet long, 4 feet high. Put it upright on the floor longways (two people need to hold it). Clean it. Divide the Plexiglas in two with a piece of masking tape, giving you two sections Now take the Oreos and separate the halves -- then take the half that retains the white stuff and stick it to the Plexiglas. Put the same amount on each side, scattered randomly, high and low. Get two volunteers, or just pick two people, for the game. Face the Plexiglas so that the white side of the Oreos is facing the rest of the audience. Then stand the two "contestants" behind the Plexiglas, facing everyone. Their goal: eat the Oreos off the Plexiglas without using any part of their body other than their mouth. Give 'em a minute or two and then let 'em go!

Spew

 

Place: Youth event Corporate Picnic
Items Needed: Alka-seltzer
Age Group: 15 on up
Difficultly: A (not much)
Scoring: One that hold it the longest
Timed Event: No

Get some ALKA-SELTZER and some carbonated clear drink... such as Sprite, 7UP, maybe Ginger Ale, or Squirt. Tell each of your participants to place a single ALKA-SELTZER underneath their tongue. Don't worry.. they won't be able to taste or swallow it with it under the tongue.

Now... give them each a cup of the clear carbonated drink. Fill it with about 3 or 4 ounces. The OBJECT is to see who can hold it in their mouth the longest, but trust me, it will EXPLODE and SPEW out of their mouths! I wouldn't advise swallowing it. It won't hurt them but yuck. They must have at least a couple ounces in order for it to work... though it is not about how much they can "drink." It's about how long they can hold it.
