Minute to Win It Christmas Party - Part 2

Our Christmas Party this year was an Ugly Christmas Sweater party with Minute to Win It games. The post detailing the first portion of the night and the individual games can be found here.

Although the individual games were really fun and a great way to start the party, I just couldn't wait for everyone to come together to play our last three games. I would laugh just thinking about the games.

The first game was 'Face the Gingerbread Man' and the goal of the game was to move the cookie that had been placed on your forehead into your mouth using only the muscles of your face.




And some of the happy winners!


The second game was so much fun to watch - but not nearly as fun to play! Zach and I decided to demonstrate how to play 'Jingle Bell Rock'. A pedometer was placed on a sweatband that was then placed around the contestants head. Normally, a pedometer is used to sense body motion and count footsteps while walking or running. In this challenge, it was used to count head jerks. We did face-offs so the winner was the individual who had the highest number on their pedometer.


Have I mentioned that I'm competitive? Only a little bit.

Warning! The following pictures are really funny and slightly embarassing.



Zach beat me by 7 steps. Moving on.








After playing this game, many competitors wanted to exchange the sweatbands for Advil -  the laughter though was priceless.

The final group game was called 'Jingle in the Trunk'.


This game was particularly hard to get pictures of because people were running all over the place, jumping around, and doing back bends. Here's Jeremy with the box strapped to his back - you can see he has successfully gotten a few bells out!


We wrapped up the evening with a White Elephant gift exchange and I just wanted to leave you with a picture of what Zach and I's gifts ended up being! My Starbucks gift card was sadly 'stolen' and I got this furry leopard stocking ... and Zach stole those Santa Claus boxers shorts from our friend Kim. I have a feeling she wasn't disappointed.


Ho! Ho! Ho!


UPDATE: If you're looking for the templates I used for this event, you can access them here.
The fonts used are 'Cambria' and 'Blackjack'. You can download 'Blackjack' for free at dafont.com -- this is one of my favorite fonts!  

xoxo, Callie

  4. Callie,

    Thanks so much for posting these. I have a question - how did you attach the pedometer to the headband? I would think will all the jerking it would come off. Thanks very much!
