Get ready

  1. Spread 10-15 paper squares on a table in front of each player.
  2. Set an empty cup a short distance away.
  3. Give each player their own straw.

How to play

  1. Players put their straw in their mouth. Hands go behind the back.
  2. Start the 60-second timer.
  3. Players suck through the straw to pick up one paper square at a time.
  4. They carry it over the cup and stop sucking so it drops in.
  5. 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.
