I Am What I Teach: May 2014

Why start at the beginning when we're much closer to the end of the school year! The last week of school was full of fun (and moving and cleaning)...So we played some Minute To Win It games to keep everyone entertained, especially me!

Minute to Win It For the Last Day of School!

Noodling Around

Contestants are given an uncooked spaghetti strand. In under a minute, the contestant needs to transfer 5 cheerios using only the spaghetti which is held in the mouth. The contestant should be careful and avoid using hands, or it will result in a foul. Also, if the uncooked spaghetti strand breaks, the game is lost.
