Noodle War
24th November 2009 by Work Experience
Let's face it; every person on Earth loves to hit people with pool noodles! This game allows your students to take their pent up frustrations out on each other in a very funny way.
Works best for:
Up-front before an audience. Any size group or age group works well...all you need is some brave volunteers.
What you need:
• Cheapo goggles
• 4-6 noodles
• 8-10 balloons FILLED WITH SHAVING CREAM
• some high quality tape (like duct tape).
Get prepared:
Take the 8-10 balloons and blow them up really, really big. The bigger they are, the more stretched they are. The more stretched they are, the quicker the game goes. When you have the balloons inflated squirt some shaving cream into them. (Don't make them too heavy!) Tie them off and duct tape them to the end of a noodle. One balloon per noodle is quite sufficient!
The Game:
Have 2 people compete against each other at a time. They face each other and stand about 1 metre apart (so that when they swing the noodles at each other, their hands and arms do not hit the other person).
On your mark, start some loud music and let the contestants start swinging at each other. Have the crowd cheer them on. The winner is the person who pops his/her balloon on the other person first.
Here is the deal though... if you have really blown those balloons up and added the shaving cream the entire crowd is in for a surprise. Usually, the first three rows of students get covered in the shaving cream as well!
Notes:
• Have EXTRA balloons pre-filled for this game. That way if one pops while you are explaining the rules, you have a very quick back up.
• Make sure the game is played well clear of all electrical/musical equipment...we don't want any musicians having heart attacks!
• Have all of the noodles prepared ahead of time so that the game moves quickly.
• You can film the game if you want for future enjoyment!
