Doughnut on a string

The object of this game is to eat a dangling doughnut with no hands! To play, hang doughnuts on strings from a high place, such as a doorway or tree branch.

This game can be played in two ways: You could have the kids try to eat their doughnuts individually, one at a time, or if you have room, it could be played as a race with all the doughnuts hanging at once to see who finishes theirs first. Have at least one doughnut per partygoer, plus a few extra. Frosted chocolate doughnuts produce the messiest — and funniest — results. Have a package of moist towelettes handy for the aftermath!
