Minute To Win It Games for Kids
It turns out that Chuck E. Cheese’s and I have something in common! We are both turning 40 this year. I still have a few months to go but Chuck E. Cheese’s gets to celebrate this month.
To celebrate 40 years of fun, Chuck E. Cheese’s is hosting a world-record breaking party… A GUINNESS WORLD RECORDSTM record breaking party in fact!
On May 19, families are invited to visit their local Chuck E. Cheese’s to be a part of the “Most People Blowing Party Blowers Simultaneously for 10 Seconds” world-record breaking event.
Every child that comes in on Friday, May 19th will receive a free slice of cake and 40 free tickets, while supplies last, regardless of participation in the record-breaking stunt. The event starts at 8:40 PM EST/ 7:40 CST/ 6:40 PM MST/ 5:40 PST. Make sure to arrive 30 minutes before the event starts.
In order to get our family pumped for Chuck E. Cheese’s birthday extravaganza I rounded up some GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ records and turned them into Minute To Win It games.
Minute To Win It games are the perfect way to have some family fun. They can be used for celebrating a birthday or give you something to do together after school.
We had a blast with these 5 GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ inspired Minute To Win It games.
Minute To Win It Game #1 – How many chocolate candies can you eat in one minute… using chopsticks?
The interesting thing about this game was that we thought using chopsticks would be the hard part. We were wrong. Chewing and swallowing took the most amount of time!
What you need: small bowl, chocolate candies and chopsticks.
- Fill a small bowl with chocolate candies.
- Grab a pair of chopsticks (you’ll want a set for each player).
- Set the timer for 60 seconds.
- Pick one or two people to keep count as one player eats the candies using chopsticks.
Minute To Win It Game #2 – How many socks can you sort in one minute?
You have a huge advantage if you’re the one who does laundry in your house!
What you need: a huge pile of socks. (Make sure they all have a match.)
- Dump all of the socks in a pile and mix them up.
- Set the timer for 60 seconds.
- Sort as many socks into pairs as you can before the time runs out.
Minute To Win It Game #3 – How far can you blow a pea in one minute?
You might need to get creative with this one, the best place we found to measure distance was around our kitchen island.
What you need: a small can of peas and space to blow the pea.
- Pick a pea from the can.
- Set the timer for 60 seconds.
- Blow the pea as far as you can before the time runs out.
- Mark your spot.
- After everyone has taken a turn, measure who’s pea made it the farthest.
Minute To Win It Game #4 – How many ice cream scoops can you stack in one minute?
This game can be altered a bit depending on the age of the players. Scooping the ice cream out is the hard part. For little players, you might want to have someone else do the scooping.
What you need: ice cream, ice cream scoop and flat surface (plate or cutting board).
- Set the time for 60 seconds.
- Scoop ice cream from the tub.
- Stack scoops on a cutting board or plate.
- Keep your ice cream tower steady!
- See how how many scoops you can get in one minute.
Minute To Win It Game #5 – How tall can you build a block tower in one minute?
Bring out the blocks. Ready, set… build!
What you need: blocks and measuring tape.
- Collect blocks. I choose to gather only two types of blocks for this game.
- Set the timer for 60 seconds.
- Build the tallest tower you can that stands on it’s own.
- Measure the structure and compare heights after everyone takes a turn.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Chuck E. Cheese’s. The opinions and text are all mine.
I remember when I was a kid eating a chuck e cheese pizza for my birthday one year
and playing all the games.
My 9 year old daughter loves to go to Chuck E. Cheese. She was afraid of Chuck E. in the beginning, but now it is all good.
I am 44 years old and was a young girl when my grandparents surprised me with a visit to a new “fun place” in town. It was Chuckie Cheese. I clearly remember dancing with a life-sized “mouse” and playing so many fun games. I would love to share this experience with my three children ages 9, 10 and 12. How fun!
Every year I take my son out of school early on his birthday for a day at Chuck E Cheese. He’s 9 this year and still looks forward to it erinnsluka@gmail
Taking my nephew and teaching him to play some of the games like skeeball and then playing basketball with my son are two great memories. My son is a little scared of people in costumes but Chuck E. didn’t scare him. There have been some great times at Chuck E. Cheese and actually the food is pretty good too!
My favorite memory was two years ago for a cousins birthday we went. Our little one was terrified of Chuckie….and would not get out of his chair. Chuckie was so good with the kids…by the end of the party….he loved Chuckie and was following him around everywhere! I love how great they are with the kids!!!!
Our most recent trip…which happened to be our very first trip! I had never been to one before and we decided to stop after a long day of shopping. My daughter had a blast and we enjoyed a nice dinner together. We both had fun playing all the games and she loved getting to dance with him when he came out too!
We took my daughter to Chuck E Cheese for the very first time on her first birthday! She has loved it since!
I remember my little cousin and sister both hiding under the tables whenever they saw chucky or the other people coming near.
I love Chuck E. Cheese’s! I have this random memory of drinking lots of free soda refills there as a kid.
