Giant Spider Web Party Game

Giant Spider Web Party Game

Supplies:

Yarn, plastic spider rings, prizes - candy

Directions:

First remove anything that could get damaged from the room.

Then get started by draping a really long piece of yarn across a room (wrapped gently around couches, chairs, furniture, etc.) this will be used to form the base of the to spider web.

Then determine how many guests will be attending the party as you will need 1 extremely long piece of yarn (several yards) for each guest. At one end you will tie the spiders ring and the other a prize or note revealing their prize. Hide the "prize" end somewhere in the room and start wrapping the yarn around the existing web base. Repeat with all the other pieces of yarn so that when you are done, you should have all the spider ring ends at one end of the room, all the yarn in a tangled web in the middle of the room and the "prize" end of each piece hidden in the room.

Now when you are ready to play this game invite all the guests into the room and ask them to pick a spider. Now all the guests have to do is start with the spider and somehow untangle their piece of yarn from the rest of the web to get to the other end (stepping over, under, and basically getting tangled in the spider web)....and ultimately, the PRIZE!

This is a way to keep the kids busy and occupied for quite some time. Remember the more difficult the web the longer it will take them to untangle it.
