Swinging Marshmallow

swinging-marshmallow

Bring 2 or 3 pairs of students up front. Pair them up (player A and player B) and give each pair a four-foot long piece of string and two marshmallows. At a signal, the pairs tie one marshmallow on each end of the string. Player A in each pair holds one marshmallow in his/her mouth while standing and facing the front of the room. Player B stands to the side of player A at an arm’s length, looking toward player A.

Moving only his/her head, player A begins to swing the string back and forth like a pendulum while player B attempts to catch the swinging marshmallow in his mouth. Both players may move only their head, no bending over. The winner is the first pair in which player B catches the marshmallow.
