Get ready
- Spread a pile of pennies on the table in front of each player.
How to play
- Players put one hand behind their back.
- Start the 60-second timer.
- Using only one hand, players pick up pennies one at a time and stack them into a tower.
- If the tower falls, they start building again.
- When the timer runs out, count the pennies in each standing tower. Tallest wins.
Tips & variations
- Coins are a choking hazard. Keep this one away from preschoolers and collect every penny afterward.
- Try it with dominoes or checkers for a different twist.
📖 Bible connection
Jesus praised a poor widow who gave just two small coins, because she gave everything she had (Mark 12:41-44). Talk about how God cares about our hearts more than the size of our gift.
