Go to your local pet store and buy a bunch of live crickets before your event. Ask for volunteers before you reveal the game. Each victim (I mean contestant) reaches into the container of crickets and pulls out one at a time and pops the live cricket into their mouth. The object is to spit the cricket into their bucket, which is placed several feet away. This is a timed event. When the time runs out, the person with the most crickets in the bucket is the winner. We usually give the winner a prize and all contestants are given mouthwash.
Supplies Needed:
Two buckets
Live crickets in a container
A prize for the winner
Mouthwash
