The Twelve "Games" of Christmas (#1 - A Bit Dicey)

The Snow Birds are getting ready to fly south, so we will be having Christmas in November this year.  My mother-in-law asked me to come up with a few games in an attempt to get the men more involved in our festivities.  My thought was to keep the games short and sweet, with a lot of variety and a little friendly competition.

This led to a takeoff on some "Minute to Win It" ideas, which I am calling:

The Twelve Games of Christmas 

We will draw a person's name from one bowl and the game that they will attempt from another bowl...

Game #1: A Bit "Dicey"

You need:

• Six dice (We borrowed them from our Farkle game.)
• Popsicle sticks (or wider Craft sticks for very young players)

The player has one minute to balance (stack) all six dice on a popsicle stick that is held in their mouth.  For younger kids, use a Craft stick and give them fewer dice.  Remember to bring extra popsicle sticks because other people will want to try this, too!
