How to play ‘Minute To Win It’

There are three ways you can use:

Method 1:

You can play individual games, where one person plays against the clock. Each person will have to complete the challenge in one minute, and if successful will win a prize. If the person fails to complete the challenge, have another person try. Try to have a different person attempt a challenge for each new game.

Another version is to have the same person continue playing different games until they cannot complete a challenge in one minute. You could also have a number of individual players participating at the same time, see who can complete the challenge within the time given.

Method2:

The next method can be for groups. Here you can choose two players, who will then be competing against each other instead of against the clock. Provide all the props you need for the game and give this to each player, then see who can complete the challenge first. The player who finishes first can then get a prize. Since this is a group version, have each person rotate with another group member for each new game. Smaller groups work well for this, as you can play more of a variety of games.

Method 3:

Each team must then select a team member to play against the opposing teams. So, one member of each team will get the props and instructions necessary to complete the challenge. These chosen members will compete against each other to see who can complete the challenge first. Whichever player is first their team gets, for example, 6 points. The second team then gets 3 points, the third team gets one point, while all other teams get no points. This works well for larger groups and helps to get everyone involved in the game.

Have somebody write each teams number on top of the board, team 1,2, or 3 etc. On the left side of the board, write down the name of each game. Then underneath each team place the points given, the team who completes a challenge first gets 6 points. The second and third teams to finish get 3 points and one point respectively, while every other team get no points. Write the points under each teams number. In order for everyone to earn points, set up a timer when playing. The team who finishes first then gets the 6 points and so on, while teams who finish within the time given all get at least one point.
