Today's Almanac entry: Games You Can Play With Soda Straws
Evidently that package of plastic straws are not only for sipping drinks or polluting mother earth.
You can play some games with them which is great for when the electricity goes out and there is absolutely nothing better to do.
Grab some straws and some beans. Big ones that won't go through the straw.
Place some beans on a plate and have players try to move their beans from their plate to another by sucking air in the straw on the bean to move it. The winner is the first to get all their beans to another plate or whoever moved the most beans in a certain amount of time.
Sounds
Like
So
Much
Fun
Maybe in place of beans use some candies! Big ones please that won't go through the straw and become a choking hazard!
The game our homemaking heroine is playing with her friends is one where you throw the straws at an intended target.
Obviously these straws were used for some margarita sipping before they played this game.
I just don't know what would happen if I handed my friends some straws and announced we were going to throw them into the trash.
Maybe instead of the trash can a recycle bin??
I tried to have my kids try out this game tonight but one of them flung food at me
(I'm completely serious. It was an accident)
The other ignored me and they all decided to play Twister instead.
BUT
You know what game mom can play with straws?
Well it't not much of a game but a glass of wine.
And
There isn't much of a straw...
But I win every time
yay me
