Minute to Win It Games

Have you seen the new game show, "Minute to Win It"? Contestants are challenged to complete a task, using everday household objects, in less than a minute! Enjoy the photos of the daring individuals who gave the games a try (pay no attention to the date on them, it really was last Friday night). Click here to visit the gameshow's website (find even more games to try!) and you can watch the show on Wednesday nights on NBC.
First we practiced. In "A Bit Dicey" the player places a popsicle stick in his/her mouth and vertically stacks one die at a time on the stick. Six dice within sixty seconds wins!Sam demonstrates and MaryAnn B. is quick to catch on next. Jimmy S. warming up. Lorna and Rapunzel and keep the games going...look at their balance!!

Rapunzel and Jimmy S. go head to head. The timer is counting down!Champion dice stacker Rapunzel is challenged by Tosha S. and Destiny!
Stacy L. gets "Hanky Panky" started (empty the entire box of tissue using one hand in a minute!) and Angela cheers her on.Mary Ann E. is victorious!Working as a team to keep that ballon up in "Defying Gravity".

Rapunzel and Jimmy S. pick up the bags using their teeth in "Bite Me"!


Thank you everyone who participated. Watch for another scheduled night of Minute to Winute gaming on the June SAS calendar.

Simple Exercises


Exercise is so important for our health. Even if you just do a little bit, from your chair, it can improve your circulation, keep your joints happy and muscles strong. Click here to visit one of the websites I used for our recent Chair Exercise class. Keep moving!
