This is a new spin on an old youth group classic. Suck it, also known by a bunch of other names, is a classic. The premise, with a straw, suck up a marble and move it from one container to another container. Halloween Suck It has the same goal only we're using coco puff cereal instead of marbles.
​

Our game included two teams, straws, 4 small pumpkin buckets, and coco puffs. One by one, students race up to the first contain. Using the straw (one straw per student), students suck up a coco puff and move it to the second pumpkin bucket.

We actually played three versions of the game. The first round we played the game straight out. No variations. For round two, the students had to spin while moving the coco puffs from bucket to bucket. The third round required the students to move in pairs. They had to work together to win.

To win the game, students needed to have the most coco puffs in their bucket. So out the end of each round, we counted up the coco puffs and declared a winner.

It's such a simple game yet our students had a blast. Using the pumpkin buckets and the coco puff were a great halloween twist.

Thanks to my friend and co-youth worker, Dave N. Dave is a great "gamer". He creates and finds some of the best games we've played with our students. So happy to be able to work with him.

Be sure to keep checking back as I add more and more games, ideas and resources.

Thanks for reading.
