MINUTE TO WIN IT

Split into teams and have them compete in minute long challenges. Here are a few favorites, some of them require partners and some of them require just one person. The supplies of each activity are listed below.

You can find the blueprints and demo videos here. It’s fun to use these video’s before each activity to pump up the excitement and battle aspect.
