Use Your Noodle Party Game
This is a hilarious party game that works for everyone, from young kids to oldsters. You can use it at your child’s birthday party or at the family reunion this summer. It’s guaranteed to involve everyone, because it’s almost more fun to watch as it is to play.
If you are indoors, be sure and clear a large space to prevent injuries. Make sure everyone is spaced well enough apart so they don’t bonk heads.
Use Your Noodle
First, you have to make a hat for each player. To do this, tape two disposable bowls together at their bottoms, or poke a hole in the middle of each and use a brad to attach them. One bowl will be the “hat” and the other will act as a large receptacle on top of the player’s head.
Make a chin strap by poking a hole in each side of the hat bowl. Tie the ends of a piece of elastic in the holes to make a snug-fitting, but not tight, chin strap.
Have each player put on their hats. Give each player a small bean bag (for instructions on how to make them yourself, click here). On go, players try to throw the bean bag up in the air and catch it in the bowl on top of their hat wins.
Another way to play this is relay style: Form two or three lines of players. The first person has to throw the bean bag, catch it in his or her hat and then run to the end of the line. Then the next person does the same thing. First team to get all the way through their line wins.
You can also partner players and have them stand about six feet apart. Then one player tries to toss the bean bag into the other player’s hat. First team to have two successful catches in a row wins.
