Suck It Up Relay

I laugh every time we play this game! For Suck It Up Relay you first need to divide your group into manageable teams. You will need one deposit container for each team. The size of it will depend on what type of object (I found ghost shaped erasers at U.S.Toys) you use; i.e., if it's erasers you won't need anything but a large plastic cup, but if you use paper cuts (perhaps the same cuts out you used for Follow the Ghost) you won't need anything at all. You will need one straw per participant. For younger groups of kiddos I cut the straws in half, but leave length for older kids. You could use any Halloween themed shape or item - witch hats, black cats, bats, spiders, leaves, pumpkins...

To begin, line the teams behind a "starting line", pass out a straw to each kiddo, and place a pile of ghost erasers or paper cut outs at the front on each team. Each player will suck on their straw to "attach" the eraser or paper cut out without using their hands. On "go" each player will walk or run to the container without using their hands to deposit the object and hurry back to tag the next person in line. It's harder than you think! The first team to finish all kiddos' deposits wins. The prize can be the eraser. I assure you will have fun watching and the kids will be talking about the game for days after!
