Setup

Prepare an empty cereal box or a paper bag and a pair of scissors. You’ll need a large enough space with a soft surface as it may involve falling down. We recommend watching the video to understand. Place the cereal box in the middle of the room on the floor standing up. Have all players stand in a line in front of the cereal box.1.

How to Play

Players take turns trying to pick up the box using only their mouths. Players who succeed, move on to the next round. A player is out of the round if they touch the ground with their hands or their knees touch the floor. Once all the players had a turn, use scissors to cut off 1 inch from the top of the box. Have the remaining players take turns again with the shorter box. Repeat cutting the box/bag 1 inch and taking turns until there is only one player left, who wins the game.
