Mission Impossible Mixer

Here’s an idea for a mixer for something a little different.

Divide the group into 4 teams and have each team choose a captain.  Give the captain a pen and some blank sheets of paper.  Then the leader asks some crazy fact questions (see below) and the team has to come up with the answer, write it (legibly) on the sheet of paper and then run it to another leader (who is standing far away or in a hard to get to spot).  The first team to bring the correct answer to the leader wins.  When they win, they get to pick a person from another team (anyone they want) who has to come up front and do an “impossible challenge”.  We did 3 things that the person picked could choose from.  Either eat a HUGE scoop of peanut butter in less than a minute, eat a tablespoon of cinnamon in under a minute or eat 6 saltine crackers in under a minute (all of which are supposedly “impossible”).

We did about 4-5 rounds of this – it was fun!

Here are the questions we used (which we had on a flyer earlier in the week):  What is the animal responsible for the most human deaths? (mosquito)  Why is the Eiffel Tower six inches taller in the summer than in the winter? (heat expands the steel) Who is the largest toy distributer in the world? (McDonalds)  What is the only muscle in your body that is attached only at one end? (your tongue)  What is rapper Ice Cube’s real name? (O’Shea Jackson)  ** Feel free to make up your own, there is some great and random stuff on www.bored.com

Great game, we will try it at club Monday night, did cinnamon shots, (spoonfuls) with guys on a camping trip, it was rough good think I was outside, I could not stop throwing it up. It was awesome.

Eating a spoonful of cinnimon, definitely not impossible. The first kid did it.

Great game, worked well last night, we did girls vs guys and had 6 people at the end all doing one. I had them pick a number and thats the challange they got, out of the 3. 1 guy killed the cinnimon in 1 minute, and a girl killed the PB in 1 minute, guesss I should have gave them more. I went easy on my wife with the cinnimon and she was still spewing it out of her nose.

Maybe we just have wimpy kids at our school? They had a hard time with the cinnamon and peanut butter (it was a BIG spoonful of cinnamon)…I guess it’s still random though :)
