Minute to Win It Saran Wrap Ball Challenge

Use this with the kids. This teen minute to win it games is one of my favorite games and I say, you must use full size candy bars (it’s just more fun that way!) Wrap candy until you make a giant Saran Wrap Ball.  First place all players in a circle. One person begins unwrapping the ball and keeps whatever falls out. The player to their left is constantly rolling two dice. Then they roll doubles, the ball is passed to the left as are the dice. The same things occurs.   Once the person to their left rolls doubles the ball gets passed again. This idea comes from Must Have Mom.
