Flour Power
A race to pass plates full of flour along the team line in a way that is bound to cause messy faces and hilarity.
WARNING: Play this outdoors or a place where the floor can get messy – because it will!! 🙂
How To Play
Step 1.
Teams of 3 to 10 sit on the floor in a line all facing the same direction. Each player holds a paper plate on top of their heads with one hand. The first player has 5 to 10 plates of flour in front of them. Each team must have the same amount.
Step 2.
On the whistle, the first player picks up the first plate of flour and holds it above their head. Without turning around, they must tip the contents onto the plate of the player behind them. IMPORTANT: THE RECEIVERS PLATE MUST NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE TOP OF THE HEAD.
Step 3.
This continues down the line to the final player who then tips it into a collection container.
