Level 2 'Minute To Win It' Baby Blockin' Game

The Minute to Win It game Baby Blockin' is fairly straight-forward: balance blocks on top of your head. Once you try it, however, you'll realize just how tricky it can be. Practice using a steady hand and try not to rush. You'll have a strong desire to hurry because of the timer, but going slowly is actually better for your balance.

Balance four standard-sized baby blocks (the old-fashioned ones made of wood, with letters of the alphabet painted on them) on a plastic plate, resting on the top of your head. Complete this task in a minute or less.

Equipment Needed

To play Baby Blockin' you will need:

1. Three standard baby blocks
2. One plastic (disposable) plate

How To Play

Set the playing area up with a small table holding the plastic plate and the three baby blocks. The player stands beside the table with her hands at her sides. When the one-minute timer begins, the player first must balance the plate on her head. Once the plate is in position, it may not be adjusted further at any point during the game.

When the plate is balanced, the player can then begin stacking the blocks. The baby blocks must be stacked one on top of the other to create a tower. The game is won when all three baby blocks are stacked on the plate, and balanced without being touched for three consecutive seconds. All of this must be completed within one minute.

The Rules

The rules for Baby Blockin' are pretty simple:

1. You may not move the plastic plate once it's been balanced on top of your head
2. If the plate and/or blocks fall, you may gather them up again and start over. The timer continues to run, however, and if you run out of time the game is over.
