Q-tip wars

You need: duct tape, sunglasses, straws, Q-tips, and two different-color markers.

One kid is 'IT'...you wrap them in duct tape, sticky side out. From shoulders to knees. (Give 'IT' sunglasses for protection.)

Two teams stand about 5 paces from 'IT.'

Each team is given straws with color coded Q-tips (red and blue?) (If you color them in the package with a marker you can get all the tips at once.)

You blow the whistle (or clap your hands or scream or something) and everyone starts shooting their Q-tips through their Q-tip-straw blowguns at 'IT,' the target.

When they are finished...count how many of each team stuck to the target.

(To add difficulty...'IT' can move and wiggle)

(It is a huge waste of Q-tips, but a great amount of fun.)
