Game Description
In this relay race, participants pass a marshmallow to the end of the line using toothpicks.
Game Materials
- A large marshmallow for each team
- Toothpicks for each person
Game Play
- The first player puts the marshmallow on his or her toothpick and then holds the toothpick with his or her teeth.
- Players must pass the marshmallow from player to player by sticking his/her toothpick into the marshmallow and leaving it in as they pass it along.
- Participants are not allowed to use their hands.
- As the marshmallow is passed it accumulates one more toothpick from each player so that its difficult to insert your toothpick without getting stuck by the ones already there.
- When the relay is finished the marshmallow is sure to remind you of a porcupine.
Optional Discussion
- What are some of the tricky situations we face in life?
- How do we handle such situations without getting hurt?
- What are some of the potential hurts when we pass the gospel on to others?
- Are the risks worth it?
