Let the (Minute to Win It) games begin!
1. By A Thread
Line up ten needles vertically by inserting them into a piece of foam. The needles should have eyelets that decrease in size.

2. The Chandelier
You will need 5 paper plates, 15 empty cans and a very steady hand.
How to win: Make an inverted 5-layer pyramid. Start with 1 can, and place a paper plate on top. Then add two cans and a paper plate on top. Then add three cans, and so on and so forth.

4. Speed Eraser
All you need for this challenge are 7 drinking cups—heavy ones that won't overturn easily, and a handful of unsharpened pencils.
How to win: Set up the cups in a row. The player has to bounce the pencils off the table and get them to land inside the cups. Whoever gets one pencil inside each cup first wins!
5. Elephant March
Draw a line on the floor with masking tape, and place 5 water bottles on either side of the tape, in a line, at an equal distance from that line. Place a baseball (or any other heavy kind of ball) inside a pair of pantyhose and put them on your head, so the hanging ball looks like an elephant's trunk.
How to win: March along the line of tape, swinging your head and trying to knock down all of the water bottles.

How to win: Stack the cups one by one in a triangular tower, and once complete, restack the cups by taking them down in individual lines.

This is a tough one! You'll need 5 quarters, a dollar bill and a mug.
How to win: Place the dollar bill on the lip of the mug and stack 5 quarters on top. Remove the dollar bill while leaving the pile of quarters intact.
10. Bobblehead
This is a funny one. You're going to need some pedometers and some headbands.
How to win: Attach a pedometer to each player's head. Each person has to bobble their heads to attain a total of 125 "steps".
11. Penny Hose
This is one of our favorite Minute to Win It games for teens! For this one you're going to need two pennies and a pair of pantyhose.
