MJ's Staff Christmas Party - Minute to Win it

I helped plan our annual staff Christmas party this year with our friend (and fellow teacher) Andrea Luburich.  We decided on a 'Minute to Win it' theme this year.  We had various games for the guests to participate in.  It was SO much fun!

Part of the gang with our White Elephant 'treasures'. 
 This is Lindsey.  She is our K-4 gym teacher.  As you can see, she gets very serious about any games/competition!
 Look at the concentration!  They are flipping pencils from the back of their hands and catching them in their hands.  They started with 1 pencil and eventually worked up to 5 at a time.
 Lindsey and her husband Michael wore matching team shirts with the Minute to Win it logo on the sleeve!   AWESOME!
 Nikki and Sara are very determined to balance 6 dice on top of a Popsicle stick they are holding in between their teeth/lips.
 The team approach by the Bodven's was successful!
 We are trying to move a cookie from our forehead to our mouths.  The trick is you have to leave your head back and can only use the muscles in your face to accomplish the task.
 Getting ready for the next game!
 Scott's face means... 'It's GO time'
 Trying to knock over a bottle of water with a ball inside of the pantyhose.
 Luby and Chris sporting some sweet looks!
 Nikki was successful in the pencil-bounce-into-a-cup challenge.
 Transferring cotton balls to a bowl using a little petroleum jelly on the nose ;)
 Way to go Tiff!  She stopped a spinning quarter!
 Andrea and I are trying to catch tortillas on our 'plate hats'.  These tortillas were being kicked in our direction off of our partner's feet.
 The final challenge!  They had to tie a yo-yo to their belts, then swing them against the soccer ball to move it into the goal.
Great technique!
