Some of the minute to win it games are even perfect for teens. Watch the video below for inspiration, and then keep reading for detailed supply lists and instructions. This free printable booklet includes these games, plus a printable back to school word scramble worksheet! These are our favorite Minute to Win It Games! Depending on how many people will be playing, there are several ways to play Minute to Win It Games β which is our favorite part about these types of games.
You can play with just two people or with dozens of people. Here are the different ways to play. In this version, one player will be competing individually in an attempt to complete a challenge within one minute. If they do it, they win a point more on scoring later. Players can take turns competing each challenge, or you can have multiple challenges taking place at the same time β with players rotating to a different challenge each round. If you have enough supplies, you can also have several people doing the same challenge at the same time.
This version works really well with classroom parties. You can have supplies for 5 kids to compete at the same time for every game, and have kids rotate from game to game in stations. When you have a larger group, you may want to divide the group into teams. You can have as many teams as you want. For each game, you can have the team choose one player to compete head-to-head with the other team representatives.
For example, one person from each team will be given the game supplies, and they all compete at the same time. The first person to finish the challenge wins for their team. The team that wins the most challenges wins the entire game night.
This is a great way to get everyone involved when you have a larger group and encourages a lot of cheering. Our favorite way to play Minute to Win It games is to do a hybrid of the individual and team options. This allows you to play a variety of games, have people compete in pairs and groups and also individually. It also gives everyone a chance to play most or all of the games. For individual games, everyone who completes the challenge in one minute gets a point.
