Christmas Cookie Face Game: Minute to Win It Rules

In the Christmas cookie face game, you wiggle a cookie from your forehead into your mouth without using your hands. It looks silly and is great for photos.

How to Set Up

1. Check for food allergies before you start.
2. Give each player one cookie and a napkin.
3. Set a 60-second timer.
4. Have players tilt their heads back a little and keep their hands behind their backs.

How to Play

1. Place the cookie on your forehead.
2. When the host says “go,” start the timer.
3. Move the cookie using only your face. Scrunch your nose, wiggle your eyebrows and open your mouth.
4. Let the cookie slide down your face toward your mouth.
5. Eat the cookie if you get it in your mouth before the timer ends.
6. If it falls or you use your hands, start again if there is time.

Scoring and Winning

If you get the cookie into your mouth in 60 seconds, you win the round. If several people win, the fastest wins the round. Play best of three if you want a champion.

Tips for a Fun Game

• Lean back a little so gravity helps.
• Wipe your face before you start so it is not slippery.
• Use two cookies per player so they can try again.
• Take a video. The faces are the best part.

Variations

• Little kids: Allow 2 minutes and let them use a very soft cookie or a marshmallow.
• Team relay: Each team member moves a cookie, then tags the next player.
• Adults: Make it harder with a smaller cookie or a blindfold.
