Wooden Spoon Relay

Wooden Spoon Relay

Having the biggest hill of beams wins this three-minute relay race. For each team, place a bowl filled with dried beans or "un-popped" popcorn kernels at the starting line. Set a grocery brown paper bag about twenty feet from each bowl. When the race begins, the first person on each team uses a wooden spoon to scoop up beans (or popcorn kernels) from their team's bowl and races off to dump them in the team's grocery bag. He or she rushes back to team and hands the wooden spoon to the next person in line who races out to fill up the spoon with beans from the bowl and dump them into the team grocery bag. This continues for three minutes, when the game officially ends. The team with the most beans in its grocery bag wins. (Don't count, use a measuring cup...)
