6+ Players 👥
3-5 Minutes ⏱️
What You’ll Need

How to Play
Explain the challenge: Players will race to stick as many marshmallows to their face as possible using only their tongue.
Start the timer: Give players 30–60 seconds.
Lick and stick: Players lick each marshmallow and try to stick it on their face (cheeks, forehead, chin—anywhere works!).
Count the stuck ones: After time is up, count how many marshmallows are still stuck.
Declare a winner: The player with the most marshmallows stuck to their face wins!

Variations
