MINUTE TO WIN IT FIREFIGHTER STYLE

Here are some ideas

"Excuse me, I think you are balancing a quarter on your nose and going through an obstacle course"
Sent in by Katie O'Connor
Great for object lesson/ ice breaker on: "Team Work", "Self-Control" or "Trust"
The way you play is simple.
Divide into two teams (preferably long time rivals). Have each team go to opposite ends of the room and pick out two volunteers. Have one of the volunteers balance a quarter on their nose and have the other guide them through the obstacle course that the other team has made (preferably out of their own bodies). Whoever's team makes it through successfully first is the winner.
The rules are:
 - No cheating, if the quarter drops, you have to start all over.
 - Human obstacles are not allowed to move or cause the Balancer to stumble.
Tea PartySling two tea bags onto the bill of a cap by swining your head.
Chop StackUse chopsticks to stack 4 tubes of lip balm vertically.
Extreme Nutstacker Use a chopstick to stack ten nuts on a handheld cutting board.
Face the CookieUsing only their face, contestants must move Oreo cookies individually from their foreheads to their mouths.

We're gearing up for our annual Christmas party which usually consists of dinner and dancing at a banquet hall. The one thing we look forward to all year is the "Year in review" video. This is made up of video and still photos taken by our photo unit at fires, wrecks, training drills, etc. The last several years, he's even burned copies onto blank discs for everyone to have. We also do our award ceremony at the party also.
