This one was fun to make, and probably the easiest challenge to complete.
Objective: Player must shake gumballs from an empty 2-liter bottle into the other bottle on the bottom. You definitely had to the right flick of the wrist and the perfect angle of the card to hit the watermelon and stick. We all tried this one, and only got a couple cards actually stuck in the side of the watermelon. Objective: Using regular playing cards, player must stick one card into the side of cut watermelon.Īs you can see, this one was even more challenging. It wasn’t that it was difficult to do, it was definitely hard to achieve in the time frame. This one the girls actually find really challenging. Objective: Using a long piece of spaghetti in your mouth, stack 6 penne pasta in a row in 60 seconds or less. I challenged each of the girls at the same time to complete the cookie challenge. This was HI-larious to watch! I just had to capture it on video. Objective: Using only your facial muscles, each player must move a cookie from the top of their head, down their face, and into their mouth without dropping the cookie. Talk about down to the last second! Face the Cookie I captured her challenge on video, with my niece in the background holding the timer. This one was my tween’s favorite, as mentioned above. Objective: Stack 28 plastic cups in a pyramid shape, and unstack them all back in 60 seconds or less. (Note: I modified some of the challenge objectives from the original show to accommodate kids and availability of items): Stack Attack Here is a peek at the challenges my tweens tackled. We created stations, almost like an obstacle course, set up with a variety of Minute to Win It inspired challenges. Then we set up a “bootcamp” of sorts around the backyard and in our dining room. Here is what we came home with and gathered from our house to begin the Minute to Win It Tween Challenge extravaganza:Īs you can see, we gathered quite the variety of random objects. Then it was off to the store to get our “everyday” items for the 10 challenges we were going to play. Then we researched online to review all of the challenge blueprints for more inspiration. 
We watched a mini marathon of Minute to Win It episodes, and each girl made a list of their favorite games they wanted to try. Since I had my two favorite resident tweens together, it was the perfect opportunity to have a little family fun, and orchestrate a Minute It To Win It Tween Challenge Day.
Summer vacation is finally here, and my niece has been visiting for a couple weeks. Each contestant has exactly one minute to win that level’s prize. Here is the kicker, each game or challenge needs to be completed successfully in 60 seconds. These challenges require patience, practice, perseverance, and in many cases luck. I also love, that these aren’t about IQ or how much smarter my 5th grader might be than me. It’s all in how they are put together in what is called the “blueprint” for each challenge. I personally think it is so clever how the challenges are based on such simple items. And when I say, everyday items, I mean cups, gum balls, liter bottles, cards, dice, noodles, cotton balls, just to name a few. The whole idea is centered around challenges of escalating difficulty using everyday household items. Let me fill you in on this super fun game show.
If you aren’t familiar with the concept of the show, you will have no idea what a “stack attack” is. She is absolutely obsessed with perfecting the Stack Attack challenge! But, I’m getting ahead of myself. I know we loved to watch this show as a family, and my tween and I have been watching episodes on on GSN.
