Newsletter #00016 (3 Games in 3 Minutes)

Sorry this one’s a day late... but hopefully not a dollar short.

Newsletter #00016 (3 Games in 3 Minutes)
Our family stays extremely busy—and this week was no different. As an entrepreneurial, Christian family, we run four businesses, volunteer in ministry work, prioritize family nights, and now, we’re preparing to move. Even though it’s just outside of town, moving is still a lot!
With these weekly game newsletters, I always want to give you something you can actually use. That’s why we’re shifting the format to focus on “3 games in 3 minutes.” Because let’s be honest—we’re all busy, and sometimes you just need a game quick for your next event.
Thanks for listening to me jabber. Now on to the games!

Game #1: Shoebox Slide

Balance. Slide. Victory.

Put on an old pair of shoeboxes like shoes and race from one side of the room to the other without falling over. Bonus laughs come when you require silly walks, turns, or even backward sliding. Great for small groups or a full class relay.

Game #2: Socks & Cups

Sock throw meets target toss.

Roll up pairs of socks into “sock balls” and try to toss them into cups or bowls from a distance. You can assign different point values based on cup color or distance. This one’s a favorite because it’s easy to prep and surprisingly competitive.

Game #3: Lick & Stick

Marshmallow madness.

Each player races to lick mini marshmallows and stick them to their face—fastest one to get them all on wins! It’s ridiculous. It’s messy. It’s always a crowd-pleaser. You’ll want your camera ready for this one.

Family Favorite Spotlight (Sponsored)

One of our go-to games lately has been Battle Toss—and I’m not just saying that. We’ve had more than a few epic face-offs in the living room and even brought it out for a neighbor’s cookout. It’s part cornhole, part frisbee, part chaos—and totally addictive.
The best part? It’s durable, packs up in seconds, and gets everyone (even the quiet ones) on their feet and laughing. Perfect for youth groups, family reunions, or just backyard fun.

See you next week — unless we’re buried in moving boxes. – The Wells Family @ Dig the Games
