Welcome, everyone, to an exhilarating holiday-themed activity that promises laughter, competition, and just a touch of stickiness! In this festive game, participants will dive headfirst into a pool of eggnog, armed only with determination and the goal of retrieving candy canes—without using their hands! Get ready to witness some hilarious antics as our brave contenders take the plunge in pursuit of victory. So, grab your goggles, rally your cheering squad, and let the bobbing begin!
SUPPLIES
- Two large clear plastic serving bowls
- Egg Nog
- Goggles
- Small Candy Canes
PLAYERS
You will need at least two people to play this game. However, if you can involve more students, those watching will have even more reason to cheer them on!
SET-UP
Fill each bowl with egg nog and 8-10 candy canes.
HOW TO PLAY
Choose two students who don’t mind getting messy (and a little sticky). They will each stand in front of their bowl, goggles on. On “GO” they will dive in to get all 10 candy canes. The first student to get all 10, without using their hands, is the winner. Have towels ready so they can dry off.
**HINT: The deeper the tub, the more of their head and body they have to put in the bowl to get the candy canes at the bottom. Also, be sure to play in a place that can get a little wet. As students come up for air, they will most likely bring some egg nog out of the tub with them. Lastly, we like to use clear tubs so the students in the audience can see more of the bobbing action!
CONCLUSION
As the eggnog settles and the laughter subsides, we conclude our sweet and silly holiday adventure. Through twists and turns, spills and thrills, we’ve experienced the joy of friendly competition and the spirit of camaraderie. Whether you were a participant in the midst of the action or an enthusiastic spectator cheering from the sidelines, we hope this activity brought a sprinkle of holiday cheer to your day. Until next time, may your eggnog be plentiful, your candy canes abundant, and your holiday spirit ever bright. Cheers to good times and unforgettable memories!
