WIPEOUT

When working with young people, leaders can never have enough games and activities. Sometimes the best games are the simplest. For example, take tonight's newest games, 'wipeout'.

No fancy equipment is needed for this game. Cut off the legs from a pair of (clean) pantyhose, confiscate a couple rolls of toilet paper from the nearest bathroom and you are in business.

Each player slips one hose (with the toilet paper roll all the way to the toe) over his head. His competitor does the same. The joust is now on!

The object of the game is to get the hose wrapped around each other and then the winner is declared when the hose is pulled completely off of one player.

It is a little harder than it looks as you add in centrifugal force, differences in height and trying not to laugh as you make the hose swing around your head.

Our kids love to play this game. Even if you don't play...you can have a lot of fun just watching the goof-balls!

Here are a few pictures of evidence:
