You will need a length of string or yarn and a paper or Styrofoam cup. Punch a hole in the center of the bottom of the cup. Run the string or yarn through the hole.
Ask 4 people who are not participating to lend a hand (we usually ask the elders of the group). Each person will hold an end of the string and stretch it out tight.
Form two teams. Each participant must place hands behind their backs and blow the cup from the start to the end. Once they get to the end, they grab the cup and run it back down the string to the starting line and the next person will continue. The team finishing first is the winning team.
Rather than hand out prizes, we hand out play money and have a general store where near the end of the party everyone can go and buy prizes.
