The Twelve "Games" of Christmas (#3 - Block Head)

This is "Block Head", the third game from The Twelve "Games" of Christmas.  Remember we are drawing the name of a person from one bowl and the name of a game that they will attempt from another bowl.

 Game #3:  Block Head

You need:

• A plastic plate
• Five wooden baby blocks (My blocks are old/well loved!)

The player has one minute to stack five wooden baby blocks on a plastic plate that is balanced on their head.  Without prompting, the "audience" chimed in and helped by calling out instructions as the stack of blocks got higher, "Up a little, now move it over..."

(You could also try this one in front of a mirror.  For younger players, use fewer blocks and/or give them more time.)
