St. Patrick’s Day Minute To Win It Activities for the Classroom

Marshmallow Stack

Color Sort

Each team was given a bag of Cap’n Crunch’s All Berries cereal. (I was going to use Trix but it didn’t have as many different colors. It would still work though. Fruit Loops or Skittles would also work.) They had to sort the cereal by color into cups. The first team to have all of their cereal properly sorted was the winner.

Threading Loops

Inhaling Skittles

For this challenge, teams were given a pile of Skittles, a cup and a straw. The student had to use the straw to move the Skittles from the pile and into their cup. The team with the most candies in their cup after a minute was the winner.

Rainbow Balancing Act

For this competition, students get a popsicle stick and a pile of Fruit Loops. Students put the popsicle stick in their mouth and use their hands to make a stack of Fruit Loops on the end of the stick. The team with the highest stack after one minute is the winner. They will drop their whole stack a couple times! It is not easy. But it is lots of fun!
