Get ready
- Spread 10-15 paper squares on a table in front of each player.
- Set an empty cup a short distance away.
- Give each player their own straw.
How to play
- Players put their straw in their mouth. Hands go behind the back.
- Start the 60-second timer.
- Players suck through the straw to pick up one paper square at a time.
- They carry it over the cup and stop sucking so it drops in.
- Count how many squares land in the cup. Most wins.
Tips & variations
- Use paper squares rather than candy for little ones to avoid choking.
- For older kids, try wrapped candy or M&Ms on a plate for a tougher version.
- Never share straws between players.
