Dangling Donuts

A fun twist on bobbing for apples- not to mention more hygenic!

In this game you hang donuts on strings from the ceiling. The players stand next to the donut of their choice (it works best to have all of the same kind, not too messy, or ask guests what kind they would like in advance) with their hands behind their backs. The game starts when someone shouts "Go!" (obviously). Players then try to eat the entire donut without using their hands. If the donut falls off the string, eat it off the floor (it's best to have something clean on the floor to catch crumbs, etc.)!This is very entertaining to watch, and even more so if you video tape it and show it to the guests afterwards. And, of course, the person who finishes their donut first wins! For prizes you could give the winner a box of Timbits (donut holes)! It's funny to see the look on the winner's face when you hand them the box! If you want to make it more of a challenge, you could use apples instead of donuts. I've done this at the last couple of my daughter's parties and it was a huge hit with the kids! Now all of her friends are playing this game at their own parties!

I hope you enjoys this game! Have fun!
