The following marshmallow games are fun and exciting for children of all ages to

play. We do not recommend that children under the age six (6) participate in these

games.

Though we have never had an accident at Kids Blast, we realize that the potential for

an accident is there. Please remember that though these games are fun,

marshmallows can be a choking hazard and The Church at South Las Vegas, it’s

entities, members or employees are not responsible for the results of any hazards that

may take place.

You’ll love these games. Every weekend the

elementary kids of Kids Blast play at least one

marshmallow game and they love it! We are always

being asked two questions by the kids 1) what’s our next

marshmallow game going to be and 2) when are we

going to play it?

The great thing about marshmallow games is that they

are inexpensive and fun to play. Throughout this book,

we have made it easy for you to add some great fun to

your class. If you are a parent, you can even do some

of these at home with the entire family.

So, grab a bag of marshmallows and enjoy the

laughter!

Dream big,

Pastor Justyn

PAGE

Choose two teams of boys

versus girls and have them

stand behind the start line.

When you say, “Go!” the

first person from each

team has to push the

marshmallow across the

finish line using nothing but

their nose. Once they

cross the finish line, the

next teammate in line

does the same thing and

so on until everyone

crosses the finish line. The

first group to get their

entire team across the

finish line wins.

1 bag of marshmallows

1 roll of colored tape (i.e.

Blue Painters’ Tape)

Before the game begins

create a start line and finish

line using the tape. The

distance depends on the

size of room or stage and

age of children.

PAGE

This is a great game for small

group settings. Play it just

like you would “Hot Potato.”

Choose a student to control

the music player. Have that

person stand with their back

to the students forming the

circle so he/she cannot see

what’s going on.

When the group forming the

circle hears the music begin,

they have to pass the

marshmallow to their right

until the music stops. When

the music stops, whoever is

holding the marshmallow is

out.

Repeat this until there is only

one student left standing

without the marshmallow.


Music player

No preparation needed.

PAGE

Choose two kids from each

team to hold the sides of the

Plexiglas sheets. Next, choose

a person from each team to

stand behind the Plexiglas

facing the audience. Grab

several marshmallows, cut

them in half with your fingers

and firmly press the sticky side

of the marshmallows against

the Plexiglas so they are stuck

(each Plexiglas sheet should

have equal amounts) and

explain the following: When

you say, “Go!” the students

standing behind the Plexiglas

have to get on their knees and

eat the marshmallows right off

the Plexiglas. The first team to

eat all the marshmallows

without them falling on the

ground wins.


2 Plexiglas sheets (any

large clear plastic/glass

would work)


wipe down the Plexiglas

sheets with hot, soapy

water. Do not use any

special cleaners (i.e.

Windex) because students

will be putting their mouths

on the Plexiglas.

PAGE

This game can be used to

stall for time, as a

“bumper” or just for fun.

While the kids are sitting in

their chairs, call on one to

stand up and see if they

can catch a marshmallow

in their mouth. You can

repeat this as much as

desired. Kids and leaders

love it!



PAGE

Choose two teams of boys

versus girls and have them

stand behind the start line.

When you say, “Go!” the first

person from each team has to

eat half a marshmallow then

place the other half against

their forehead (sticky side of

course) and walk across the

f ini sh l ine without the

marshmallow falling off. If the

marshmallow does fall off, that

person will have to go back to

the start line and do the

process over until they cross the

finish line with the marshmallow

still on their forehead.

Once they cross the finish line,

the next teammate in line does

the same thing and so on until

everyone crosses the finish line.

The first group to get their entire

team across the finish line wins.


1 roll of colored tape (i.e.

Blue Painters’ Tape)


create a start line and finish

line using the tape. The

distance depends on the

size of room or stage and

age of children.

PAGE

The object of this game is

to stack the tallest tower

(not a pyramid) straight

up using nothing but

marshmallows. When you

say “Go!” each team will

have 30 seconds to stack

the tallest tower (cannot

do pyramid style).

Whichever team has the

tallest tower after 30

seconds wins. This game is

fun to repeat over and

over.

2 bags of marshmallows

2 tables

Set up two tables in front of

the class with one bag of

marshmallows on each

table.

to build the tallest pyramid

(not a straight tower) using

nothing but marshmallows.

When you say “Go!” each

team will have 30 seconds

to build the tallest

pyramid. Whichever team

has the tallest pyramid

after 30 seconds wins.

Remember, it’s the height

of the pyramid that

determines the winner—

n o t h o w m a n y

marshmallows they use.

This game is fun to repeat

over and over.


2 tables

Set up two tables in front of

the class with two bags of

marshmallows on each

table.

PAGE

Choose as many participants

as desired. The object of the

game is to squeeze as many

marshmallows in your mouth

as possible while still being

able to clearly state the

memory verse. Start off by

having the kids place one

marshmallow in their mouth

and then have them say the

verse. If they say it clearly,

they move on; if they do not

say it clearly, they are out of

the game. Keep adding a

marshmallow and have them

repeat the verse until you are

left with the last person

standing. The person who is

able to say the verse with the

most marshmallows in his/her

mouth is the winner.


No Preparation needed.

PAGE

Choose one boy and one

girl to compete and

explain that the object of

this game is to be the first

person to build a person

and when you say “Go!”

they will have 60 seconds

to f i nd as many

marshmallows as possible.

The team with the most

The pool is used as a way

to contain the mess.

“Go!” the teams will have

30 seconds to launch as

many marshmallows as

possible into the trash can.

You can also make a water

balloon launcher slingshot

by tying two long strands of

latex rubber tubing to the

sides of an oil funnel.

Setup the trash cans a

good distance from where

the kids will launch the

marshmallows.

PAGE

Choose several kids to

participate. Explain that when

you bounce the ball they have

to put a marshmallow in their

mouth. If they can put the

marshmallow in their mouth

before the ball hits the ground

they go to the next round.

When you bounce the ball for

round two, they have to put

two marshmallows in their

mouth before the ball hits the

ground...round three—three

marshmallows...round four—

four marshmallows and so forth.

PAGE

The numbers are at the end of each piece, or in the

joints, at one side or the other.

Slide piece 1 into piece 2

Connect piece 2 to piece 3

Find piece 4 and connect that with piece 3 so

that the empty hole in the “T” faces up and the

empty hole in the elbow points down

Slide piece 5 into piece 4. You are nearly done!

Place piece 6 (the cap) onto piece 5

Now you have the main part complete.

Place piece 7 into the top of piece 2 (the “T”)

Piece 8 fits right onto piece 7 so the remaining

hole faces piece 4

Now stick piece 9 into piece 8

Final step: stick piece 10 onto piece 9
