Yarn Obstacle Course

A quick and easy one for those who have partiers all ready to play. ~ May also be called Yarn Lasers, Spider Web, or another title that fits your theme. ~

[Location:]

Anywhere you want really. Can be done indoors or out. Best locations have a good number of all ready included "obstacles" to tie the yarn around.

[Shopping List:]

1. Yarn, any color.

2. Tape (if you do not have enough obstacles to tie yarn around).

3. People! (Ideal: ages 4+ and a minimum of 2 people).

[Set-Up:]

1. Take yarn and wrap it in any way you can around chairs, trees (if outdoors), bed stands, doorknobs, etc.

2. Continue creating a haphazard mess of yarn until the playing space is large enough for the group or you run out of yarn.

3. Optional: Your participants may help with the set up and take down of this activity, it can be part of the fun.

[Object of the Game:]

Make your way from one end of the course to the other without touching the lines of yarn. First one to the other side wins.

[Rules of the Game:]

Do not touch the strands of yarn or something bad will happen.

~ Some creative consequences include:
(1) the offending player got "hit" (not really) by a stunning laser and cannot move for 5 seconds;
(2) touching the yarn wakes the spider up and she will come and eat you (out of the game);
(3) the player who hits the yarn he/she may only say two words every minute;
(4) the player loses an appendage (foot, hand, leg, arm, etc);
(5) the offending player must use the word "banana" between every other word each time he/she speaks (i.e. "I banana want banana to banana be banana at banana the banana end banana so banana I banana can banana stop banana saying banana banana banana.").
